| Abstract: | Abstract— A ferroelectric liquid‐crystal (FLC) display was optimized as a transflective liquid‐crystal display (LCD). In this configuration, the single‐cell‐gap approach was considered. The optimized configuration exhibits a high contrast ratio, wide viewing angles, and achromatic (black/white) switching in both the transmissive and reflective modes. Because no double‐cell‐gap structure, no subpixel separation, and no patterning polarizers and retarders are included in the configuration, the configuration is easy to fabricate and also possess a perfect dark state. This configuration is also suitable for bistable applications. |
