Abstract

We herein propose a multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) doping method into liquid crystal (LC) alignment polyimides (PIs) with low resistivity for resolving both issues of voltage holding and image sticking in low-frequency-driven fringe-field switching (FFS) LC modes using negative dielectric LCs (n-LCs). By utilizing strong ion trapping ability of MWCNTs, the FFS n-LC cell aligned by low resistivity PIs with 0.05 wt% MWCNT doping exhibited an excellent voltage holding ratio of 99% under an extremely low operation frequency of 0.5 Hz and approximately 23.6 times better surface discharging property than that aligned by high resistivity PIs.
