| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Liquid crystalline displays are known to have high power consumption rate. Reflective displays are expected to overcome this issue as they utilize environmental light rather than backlight. Cholesteric liquid crystals are one of the strong candidate to be applied for reflective displays. In this research, we have developed new type of dopants for cholesteric liquid crystals that can realize the electrical modulation of the reflection color. By using these dopants, we have succeeded in developing a device whose modulated color can be memorized, and a device that can be driven quickly by low voltage.
