Ferroelectric LCDs
- Wide viewing angle (+/- 70o)
- Fast response time (~10 ms)
- Two stable states at zero electric field => bistability
- Gray scale must be achieved by spatial dithering
- Not rms-voltage addressed => active matrix not required
- Challenges which have slowed commercialization:
- Susceptibility to mechanical shock
-> surface stabilization or polymer network required
- Thin cell gap (< 2 mm)
