Abstract
We propose a dual in-plane parallel electrode structure of a vertical configuration of a helix-deformed ferroelectric liquid crystal (HDFLC) mode for better brightness than a single in-plain electrode case. This structure provides high brightness in addition to the analog gray scale capability, fast response, and wide-viewing characteristics. In contrast to a conventional HDFLC in a planar geometry, smectic layers arrange themselves parallel to the substrates and thus extremely uniform alignment of molecules in a large area is naturally achieved in our new configuration.
