PROGRESS: Completed Project	PROJECT REF: INMT10
PROJECT TITLE: 雙穩態液晶體顯示器 Bistable LCDs
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 香港科技大學電機及電子工程系，顯示技術研究中心，及納米材料技術研發所郭海成教授領導的研究小組近日在雙穩態液晶體顯示器研究方面取得突破性進展。在無驅動的情況下﹐雙穩態液晶體顯示器具有兩個（或多個）穩定狀態。這種新型顯示技術最大的優點是節能，可被廣泛地應用於電子書和大型商業廣告牌。該組經過一年半的研究﹐發明了兩種不同的雙穩態液晶體顯示器: 永久雙穩扭轉向列型液晶體顯示屏及永久雙穩態彎曲-展曲液晶體顯示屏。這兩種顯示器具有高對比度, 廣視角﹐省電及沒有任何附加成本的優點。目前﹐該組研究人員已就相關技術申請了專利﹐同時進一步研究擴大規模生產這兩種液晶體顯示屏﹐以期早日達到商用標準。該項目由香港創新科技署資助。我們竭誠歡迎各廠商垂詢合作。 Technology: Bistable LCDs have two or more stable states at zero bias. They can keep patterns/images at power off. We have invented two such kinds of displays: truly bistable twisted nematic LCD and truly bistable bend-splay LCD. Advantages: High contrast ratio, wide viewing angle, power saving, and no additional manufacturing cost Applications: E-book and large commercial advertisement board.
