Abstract: The present invention relates to a high scattering smectic liquid crystal material and display device using the same. In the present invention, a series of smectic A phase liquid crystals having compact arrangement of crystal domains or a series of smectic liquid crystal mixed materials having a degree of order higher than that of the smectic A phase and an optical texture different from that of the smectic A phase are obtained by mixing a smectic liquid crystal with an organic compound having a high optical anisotropy (?n) or mixing different types of smectic phases. When used in a smectic stable state liquid crystal display pattern, these materials have high scattering properties and can effectively improve the contrast of a smectic liquid crystal display device. The present invention also improves contrast when it used in a reflective smectic liquid crystal display device.

Abstract: A smectic liquid crystal color display is presented, which includes a first substrate layer and a second substrate layer. A mixed layer, formed by mixing smectic liquid crystal and an additive, is disposed between the first substrate layer and the second substrate layer. A first conductive electrode layer is disposed at one side of the first substrate layer facing the mixed layer. A second conductive electrode layer is disposed at one side of the second substrate layer facing the mixed layer. A color film layer is disposed at one side of the first conductive electrode layer or at one side of the second conductive electrode layer. The provided display may display images in full color at double sides simultaneously, and is advantageous in having a broad visual range, high contrast, good display effect, light and thin properties, and being environmental friendly with no radiation.
