Abstract
A reflective type of an antiferroelectric liquid crystal (AFLC) display with one polarizer is proposed. An optical retardation film was introduced into the reflective configuration to obtain the enhanced electro-optic (EO) characteristics. Numerical simulations were carried out to optimize the cell parameters so that the EO switching between the black and white states could be easily achieved. The reflective AFLC display with the optimized cell parameters was found to exhibit high contrast, excellent brightness, and fast response.
