ABSTRACTA simple optical characterization technique is developed for to find the amplitude and phase modulation modes for the twisted nematic liquid crystal display (TN-LCD). The developed technique is based on intensity and pixel shift measurements of the interference pattern obtained from the TN-LCD sandwiched between two polarizers in a modified Young's experiment. Particularly, specimen LC2002 Holoeye is characterized and its amplitude and phase modulation curves as a function of image's gray level, bright B and contrast C are presented.

We have investigated the photoluminescence (PL) of a porous silicon film in which a typical nematic liquid crystal 4-pentyl-4’-cyanobiphenyl infiltrated. Before the liquid crystal filtration, the PL spectrum of the porous silicon film is comprised of two luminescent bands, one of which is located at about 600 nm whereas the other of which is located at about 450 nm. After the liquid crystal filtration, the porous silicon film gives off intense deep-blue PL with its peak located at about 400 nm at the cost of the complete quenching of the PL from the original porous silicon film. Our results have demonstrated that the luminescent properties of porous silicon films can be dramatically modified by liquid crystal infiltration.

With polarizing optical microscopy we have investigated the electro-optic properties of a nematic liquid crystal 4-n-pentyl-4′-cyanobipheny confined in the microchannels of porous silicon. Experimental study shows clearly that the liquid crystal molecules tend to align parallel to the direction of the pore columns in porous silicon. Schlieren textures with S = +1 and +2 disclinations were recorded. Our experimental investigations show that uniaxial alignment, the planar radial and the escaped radial configurations exist around the given microchannels of porous silicon.
