Electro-Optical Behavior for Dye-Doped FLC

Reduction of optical response time for fluorescent dye doped ferroelectric liquid crystal

“…The basic parameters of the FLC have already been given in our earlier papers [10][11][12][13][14]. The fluorescent dye used for doping is Benzo 2,1,3 Thiadiazole purchased from Sigma Aldrich with the chemical structure as shown in Fig.…”

“…A well-aligned cell was obtained by applying an electric field in the slow cooling cycle from the isotropic phase to room temperature. The detailed procedure for preparation of the sample cell has been discussed in our earlier papers [11][12][13].…”

Modification in dielectric properties of SWCNT doped ferroelectric liquid crystals

“…The Af m term is added in Eq. (3) for correcting the high frequency effect due to the ITO resistance and lead inductance [10,11].The other notations are same as the given for Eq. (1).…”

“…Measurement in the high frequency range has been limited to 10 MHz because of the dominating effect of finite resistance of ITO coating on the glass plates of sample cell and lead inductance [8][9][10].…”

“…The dielectric and electro-optical properties of FLCs such as dielectric permittivity, spontaneous polarization, contrast ratio, switching characteristics make them an excellent material for display purpose. Doping of different dyes and nanoparticles in the FLC has been attempted for their better performance in display devices and other applications [8][9][10][11][12]. Recent work on dielectric studies on CNT doped FLC system has shown a great increase in the dielectric permittivity, loss and relaxation strength as compared to the pure FLC system [13].…”
