Abstract

A polarizerless reflective guest-host LCD, which exhibits high luminance and good legibility has been fabricate by using NLC with Δ ε < 0 that is doped with nanomaterial molecules, fullerene C₆₀, and dichroic dye molecules, where the NLCs are homeotroptically aligned without rubbing. It is considered that the doped C₆₀ molecules may play a role in reducing the order parameter of the host NLC, and in turn, the contrast ratio is enhanced.
