Product Features
CITIZEN FINE DEVICE CO., LTD.'s foundry business provides a comprehensive system capable of handling everything related to microdisplays, from panel assembly of LCOS panels to substrate mounting.
We utilize high-quality and highly reliable technology to flexibly support everything from prototypes (customization) to mass production. Liquid crystal optical elements are active optical components that utilize birefringence to control optical phase.
We make use of our long-standing expertise in liquid crystal technology and advanced thin-film and microfabrication techniques, we can accommodate various custom products tailored as closely as possible to your specifications.
Characteristics of FLC
FLC (Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal) is a type of liquid crystal with a response speed approximately 100 to 1,000 times faster than conventional Nematic liquid crystals. Its main features are "high-speed response", "wide viewing angle" and "low power consumption."
Point
- High-speed response: approximately 100 μs
*The response time of conventional Nematic liquid crystals is 10 to 100 ms. - Power consumption: below 10 V
- Lifespan of FLC: long lifespan

| Voltage waveform diagram of FLC and TN liquid crystal | Schematic diagram of FLC binary driving |
What can be inferred from the diagram:
- FLC has a very fast rise and fall time.
- When the same voltage and duration are applied to both FLC and TN liquid crystals,
the ON time of the FLC is longer. - Since FLC operates with binary drive, which provides high orientation stability and leads to high-speed response.
Characteristics of contract manufacturing
We can manufacture LCOS panels and liquid crystal optical element panels. We offer flexible support from prototypes (customization) to mass production, so please feel free to contact us.
