Abstract
Soluble polyaniline(PAn) synthesized chemically is dissolved in m-cresol and cast on a glass plate to be used as an electrode as well as a substrate for a liquid crystal(LC) cell. PAn is also blended with a few of nonconductive polymers such as poly(diisopropyl fumarate)(PDF), amorphous nylon(a-Nylon), polystyrene (PS) or poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) to give a good adhesion to the glass plate without loosing electrical conductivity or transmittancy. The cells with PAn, PAn-2%PDF, and ITO-polyimide(PI) as the substrate give the response time(τon) of 17msec on applying the bias potential of 6V. The new cells show the decay time(τoff) of 20msec while the conventional one shows over 40msec.
