Huang, Chi Yen published the artcileFast-response liquid crystal lens with doping of organic N-benzyl-2-methyl-4-nitroaniline, Name: N-Benzyl-2-methyl-4-nitroaniline, the publication is Optics Express (2020), 28(7), 390001, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
In this study, a large-aperture hole-patterned liquid crystal (LHLC) lens was prepared from a mixture of nematic liquid crystal (NLC, E7) and organic material (N-benzyl-2-methyl-4-nitroaniline, BNA). The electro-optic properties of doped and undoped samples were measured, compared, and analyzed. The doped sample exhibited a response time that was ~6 times faster than that of the undoped sample because BNA doping decreased the rotational viscosity of the NLC. BNA dopant effectively suppressed the RMS error of LHLC lens addressed at the high voltage. Furthermore, the BNA dopant revealed a considerable absorbance for short wavelengths (< 450 nm), automatically providing the LHLC lens with a blue light filtering function for ophthalmic applications.
