摘要
Effects of the Leslie viscosity coefficients alpha(i) (i=1, 2, ..., 5) of nematic liquid crystals (NLCs) with negative dielectric anisotropy (Delta epsilon<0) on the electric-field-induced director reorientation in homeotropic NLC cells have been studied from the analysis of the transient current induced by step voltage application. The transient current in a homeotropic NLC cell with Delta epsilon<0 was well reproduced by computer simulation, based on the theory of NLCs in which the flow effects and the free-slip boundary condition are taken into account. It is found that the response time of vertical alignment NLC displays is dominantly governed by alpha(2) and alpha(4) + alpha(5) of NLCs with Delta epsilon<0. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
