Fast Switching of Vertically Aligned Liquid Crystals by Low-Temperature Curing of the Polymer Structure

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

We proposed a method for fast turn-off switching of a vertically-aligned liquid crystal cell by low-temperature curing of the polymer structure. We confirmed that the turn-off times of the fabricated cells were reduced significantly as the curing temperature was lowered to <TEX>$-20^{\circ}C$</TEX>. We accounted for the effect of low-temperature curing on the turn-off time by using a mathematical model and by observing images obtained via scanning electron microscopy. We also confirmed that low-temperature curing is more effective in reducing the response time when the device is operated at a low temperature.
