Title: Homeotropic liquid crystal display
Inventor: KIM KYEUNG-HYEON
IPC: G02F1/137
Filed: 1998-05-29
Abstract: A liquid crystal device comprises two electrodes 30,40 parallel to each other formed on one 10 of two substrates 10,20, homeotropic alignment films 90 formed on the substrates and a liquid crystal material 70 having positive dielectric anisotropy injected between the substrates. When a voltage V is applied to the two electrodes, a parabolic electric field between the electrodes drives the liquid crystal molecules. Since the generated electric field is symmetrical with respect to the boundary-plane equidistant from each of the two electrodes, the liquid crystal molecules 80 are symmetrically aligned with respect to the boundary-plane, and the optical characteristic is compensated in both regions divided by the boundary-plane, thereby obtaining a wide viewing angle. The electric field does not exert any influence on the liquid crystal molecules on the boundary-plane since the electric field on the boundary-plane is parallel to the substrate and perpendicular to the two electrodes; and thus, it is perpendicular to the liquid crystal molecules. The device also comprises means for varying directions of long axes of molecules of the liquid crystal layer, wherein the layer has at least two adjacent regions, the molecules of any one region being aligned in the same direction, and the molecules of two regions are aligned symmetrically with respect to the plane-boundary of the regions. The parallel electrodes in each pixel unit may be bent, and in adjacent pixels may be in different directions.

Title: Alignment of ferroelectric liquid crystal devices
Inventor: JONES JOHN CLIFFORD
IPC: G02F1/141
Filed: 1997-02-26
Abstract: A liquid crystal device comprises a liquid crystal cell including a layer of ferro electric smectic liquid crystal material contained between two walls bearing electrodes and surface treated to give both an alignment and a surface tilt to liquid crystal molecules. The material adopts a C 2  rather than a C 1  arrangement by arranging the surface pretilt # and the ratio of azimuthal to zenithal anchoring energies #/α to give a positive energy difference #W s  for the liquid crystal director at the surface in the C 1  and C 2  states. Additionally the provision of a C 2  state may be enhanced by allowing the cell to cool from the isotropic phase to a temperature just below a smectic A to chiral smectic phase, then applying a 50 Hz ac voltage in the range typically 0.1 to 5 volts rms. across the liquid crystal layer for about 90 seconds, then allowing the cell to cool to ambient temperature.

Second or further lamella portions are so arranged at an angle α 1 , that small angles of impact # on the tooth sides (17, 18, 19, 20) facing the sun will result but the sun light can be reflected into the interior space. In any case, tooth angles of impact α 1 , within the lamellae differ from each other. The sun protection installation can also include teeth on the underside of the lamella.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To prevent poor economical efficiency such as flowing a current to a heater at all times, by providing a current controller receiving a signal from a temperature difference detector and controlling a current to the heater, in a magnetic recorder and reproducer. CONSTITUTION:An electromotive force at a temperature difference DELTAt around a critical point of a frosting phenomenon is denated as V', namely it is very possible for frosting with a potential difference over V'. This potential difference V' is taken as a threshold value of a Schmitt trigger circuit 2, a switching circuit 3 is closed when the potential is higher, a current in proportion to the potential difference V flows to the said heater 5 with a current controlling section 4 to increase the temperature of a cylinder 6 for required sufficient value. Thus, power is applied to the heater 5 only when the temperature difference reaches DELTAt possible for frosting phenomenon. The power application to the heater is performed selectively only when the temperature difference between the inside and outside reaches the temperature difference being in danger of frosting.
