Electro-Optical Properties of LCD Doped with Nanoparticles and with Optical Compensators: Ways for Fast Response

This paper consists of two Parts. In the Part 1, we report the experimental results and considerations of the reduction of operation voltage and response time of narrow-gap TN(NTN)-LCDs embedded with the nanoparticles of hydrophobic Aerosil silica. While, in the Part 2, we give a report of the reduction of response time, especially tau(off) for the decay process of optically compensated tunable birefringence (OCTB)-mode LCD.
