Capacitive Transduction for Liquid Crystal-Based Sensors, Part I: Ordered System

In this paper, the theory for tracking the average molecular orientation of a liquid crystal (LC) material via capacitive sensing of anisotropic media is presented. The candidate LC sensor structure utilizes interdigital electrodes. Two capacitive measurements in orthogonal direction can track the d...

description In this paper, the theory for tracking the average molecular orientation of a liquid crystal (LC) material via capacitive sensing of anisotropic media is presented. The candidate LC sensor structure utilizes interdigital electrodes. Two capacitive measurements in orthogonal direction can track the director axis of nematic LC material in a homogenous ordered LC film. The sensitivity for the sensor at different alignments is studied. The candidate sensors have been fabricated and experimentally verified. Both experimental and calculated values for capacitances of selected interdigital fingers sensor structures are presented.
