title: Fast switching of long-pitch cholesteric liquid crystal device.
abstract: We propose a long-pitch cholesteric liquid crystal (ChLC) device capable of operation in both the dynamic mode and the memory mode. Fast switching between the homeotropic state and the focal conic state allows the display of moving pictures at a low operating voltage. In addition, we can write text messages on the proposed ChLC device by applying an external pressure locally to switch it from the focal conic state to the planar state.
