Abstract
- The aim of this present paper is to compare the effects of conducting polymer, poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) nanotubes and carbon nanotubes, on the electro-optical properties of a nematic liquid crystal mixture (1770-2). From the optical transmission and capacitance behavior it has been proved that the conducting polymer - nematic liquid crystal system possesses much lower threshold voltage and driving voltage than the carbon nanotube - nematic liquid crystal system which might be very useful in display applications. The effective elastic constant has been also significantly reduced in the conducting polymer - nematic liquid crystal system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
