TLDR
A liquid crystal optical modulator has a liquid crystal held between two substrates each having a light-transmissive electrode on the surface, in which at least one substrate has minute alignment-treated region having two or more kinds of liquid crystal aligning abilities different from each other formed and arranged on the same substrate as mentioned in this paper.

Electro-optical device

TL;DR: In this article, an electro-optical device having a plurality of pixels, including a majority of EL elements, provides a gray-scale display by controlling a period of time at which the plurality of the EL elements emit light in one frame period, and a polarity of an EL driving voltage, which is a difference between the potentials applied to the first and second electrodes, is inverted for each one-frame period.

Liquid crystal diffraction grating

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential difference applied between the electrodes is applied by suitable means to determine the direction of propagation of the light beam in order to obtain a more complete view of the liquid crystal interface.
Patent

Electric field gradient excited liquid crystal cell having bistability

TL;DR: In this paper, Voltages are selectively applied to each of the second and third electrodes such that the stable state of the liquid crystalline layer is changed from the ordered (homeotropic) or clear state, to the disordered (focal conic) or dark state.
Patent

Twist nematic type liquid crystal display device

TL;DR: In this paper, the orientation treatment of liquid crystal molecules by dividing it into the clockwise and counterclockwise minute regions of their twist directions was proposed to eliminate the defects that display quality degrades depending upon viewing directions and decrease the dependency of display quality on the angle of view of the display quality.
