Abstract

We have studied an optically compensated splay (OCS) mode driven by fringe electric field. The OCS LC configuration obtained by applying voltage to vertically aligned LCs shows a dark state when an optic axis of the OCS cell coincides with one of crossed polarizer axis. When the fringe electric field is applied, the LC director rotates in plane above whole electrode surface, giving rise to high transmittance and wide viewing angle simultaneously.
