Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides a bistable chiral tilted-holneotropic nematic liquid crystal (BCTHN) display, which can be switched between the tilted-homeotropic state (TH state) and the twisted state (T state) by using dual frequency liquid crystal material. These two states can be maintained without the application of electric field. This bistable display uses the rubbing technique for the substrates that is a very popular method used in the liquid crystal display factory. In contrast to the conventional liquid crystal displays, the bistable liquid crystal display according to the present invention does not need high voltage to induce the flow of liquid crystal or break the anchoring energy. Only 5-volt pulses are required to switch between these two stable states.
