We have fabricated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) doped homogeneously aligned nematic liquid crystal cells driven by fringe-field switching and their electro-optic characteristics were investigated. The CNTs doped liquid crystal cell shows lower transmittance, higher driving voltage but faster response time than those in the pure liquid crystal cell. In addition, CNTs-doped liquid crystal cells as a function of the CNT length were investigated. This paper gives an explanation on difference in electro-optic characteristics of pure and CNT-doped LC in the FFS mode.
