Title:
MEASRUING METHOD AND DEVICE FOR LIQUID CRYSTAL VISCOSITYCOEFFICIENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/036137
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[PROBLEMS] A method and a device for measuring liquid crystal viscosity coefficient capable of easily measuring with high accuracy response speed-governing rotating viscosity coefficient &gammad 1 and Miesowicz’s shear viscosity coefficients &eegr 1 and &eegr 2. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] A method of measuring liquid crystal viscosity coefficients for determining the values of viscosity coefficients by the fitting between the Erichsen-Lesly theoretical value and the actually measured value of response characteristics, wherein a homogeneous-orientation liquid crystal cell (10) is selected as an object of measuring, on-response characteristics are measured as a first step to determine the value of rotating viscosity coefficient&gammad 1 from the measured result, and then off-response characteristics are measured as a second step to determine the values of Miesowicz’s shear viscosity coefficients &eegr 1 and &eegr 2 from the measured result. General values are used for viscosity coefficients other than &gammad 1 in the first step calculation, and values determined in the first step are used for &gammad 1 in the second step calculation.
