Abstract

In this paper, we studied on electro-optical (EO) characteristics of photo-aligned twisted nematic (TN)-LCD. We obtained that uniform LC alignment in TN-LCD with linearly polarized ultraviolet (LPUV) light irradiation on polyimide (PI) surface increases according to increasing irradiation time for 10 to 60 min. The voltage-transmittance and response time characteristics of photo-aligned TN-LCD with UV light irradiation time of 60 min were almost same in comparison with conventional TN-LCD were observed. From the results, we suggest that photo-aligned TN-LCD with LPUV light irradiation on PI surface is useful in applying LCD as for rubbing-free treatment method.
