34.3: Dual π‐cell Fast Response LC Display

In this paper, we propose a fast response time liquid crystal display (LCD) for 3D applications. The fast response LCD consists of dual π-cells, that are operated at voltages slightly higher (≥10V) than current AMLCDs. The gray-scale device builds on the dual cell shutter design of Haven22 where the optical transitions are fast as a result of always increasing the voltage on a liquid crystal cell. This is possible because the relaxation of the cell is optically hidden. We demonstrate a device design, based on this concept, with sub-millisecond switching between any gray level states.
