摘要：

Computer simulations on the display characteristics of chiral-homeotropic liquid crystal cells are performed. This normally black display mode exhibits an excellent contrast ratio, nearly achromatic light transmission, and low operation voltage. The optimal twist angle for suppressing the wavelength and voltage dependencies ranges from 90 degrees to 150 degrees. Promising applications of this operation mode for both transmissive and reflective displays are discussed. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
