26.2: Optical Properties of Single‐Polarizer Reflective Bistable Nematic Displays

Jesper Osterman, Louise Madsen, Jonas Birgerson, Kent Skarp

Abstract

Abstract Optical modes for the direct view single‐polarizer reflective bistable nematic display are derived using Jones matrix method. Both theoretical and experimental results show that these modes possess excellent brightness, high contrast ratio and wide viewing angles. Bistable switching realized by anchor breaking on a photosensitive polymer is demonstrated.
