Parameter optimization of a bistable chiral-splay nematic liquid crystal cell for permanent bistability
In order to realize permanent bistable state in a bistable chiral-splay nematic liquid crystal device, influences of liquid crystal parameters are analyzed. We found that large twist elastic constant and low cell gap are efficient to increase the retention time of the metastable
