The pi-cell [1] is known as one of the candidates for a fast response time and a good viewing angle characteristics due to a self-compensated configuration and can be a replaceable mode instead of the current TN mode and the IPS mode for moving picture in future. This paper shows the optimized condition to maintain bend state instead of splay state, which is mortal demerit for good optical properties in a pi-cell, by using the polymer stabilized method [2]. The good electro-optical characteristics are also obtained by optimizing the various factors, which are monomer concentration in a LC, UV intensity, curing time, curing voltage, and curing temperature, and by using retardation film. We use a scanning electron microscope to study the structures of the polymer stabilized polymer network in a pi-cell as a key to figure out why bend state is occurred.

In this paper, we studied the electro-optical(EO) performance of photo-aligned twisted nematic(TN)-liquid crystal display(LCD) with oblique non-polarized ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation on polyimide (PI) surface. The monodomain alignment of photo-aligned TN-LCD is obtained with an angle of incidence of $85^{\circ}$ on PI surface. Also, we observed that the voltage transmittance and response time characteristics of photo-aligned TN-LCD is almost same compared to rubbing treated TN-LCD. Finally, we measured that the voltage-holding-ratio(VHR) of photo-aligned TN-LCD is almost same compared to rubbing treated TN-LCD.

In this paper, we investigated the monodomain alignment of nematic liquid crystal(NLC) in the cell fabricated by transcription alignment method on polyimide(PI) surface with side chain. The LC alignment produced by the transcription alignment method is attributed to a memory effect of the NLC on PI surfaces. We observed that the pretilt angle of NLC is generated about $3.7^{\circ}$ with transcription alignment on PI surface. Also, we obtained the good electro-optical(EO) performance of twisted nematic(TN)-liquid crystal display(LCD) by transcription alignment method on PI surface.

Recently, Organic EL(Electro Luminescence) is interested in Flat Panel Display(FPD) department of new generation. This paper describes a image processing algorithm for the scratch detecting for ITO coated glass. We use the logical level thresholding method for binarization of gray-scaled glass image. This method is useful to the algorithm for detecting scratch of ITO coated glass automatically without need of any prior information of manual fine tuning of parameters.

In this paper, new non-chiral molecules with semi-fluorinated alkyl chains were synthesized varying the structure of central bent core unit. Their mesomorphic properties were investigated by DSC and polarized microscopy. The compound with 1,3-dihydroxy phenylene unit could form an enantiomeric smectic phase, but the remaining compounds with bent-core mesogenic unit were not liquid crystalline. In this presentation, their x-ray measurement and electro-optical property will be also described.

The LED light source has many excellent advantages for the application of LCD backlight module. As we know, the operational temperature can significantly influence the characteristics of LEDs. Heat can damage the LED 's quality, and decrease its lifetime and output light intensity. In this paper, we perform computer software, Flomerics CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), to simulate heat distribution of the 20.1" LED backlight module we designing, and realize how the different heat sinks can solve the serious heat problem in practice.

In this paper, we have investigated the hydrogen effects on Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) as an LC alignment layer of the FFS mode. By change of a Hydrogen content in the DLC sputtering process, the image sticking and electro-optic characteristics of Black-White panel with DLC / IB technology were examined.

This paper describes a low frequency electrical nerve stimulator for muscle care. The developed system consist of 8bit low power consumed MPU, voltage boosting circuit converting 9V input to 120V output, repairing circuit for distorted output pulse, LED and buttons for I/O, and electro-chemical pad. The pulse generation algorithm for the muscle care effect is developed with basic pulses such as a single phase rectangle pulse, symmetric rectangle pulse, and depolarized interrupt pulse.

In this paper, the viewing angle characteristics of amorphous (a) - twisted nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) on poly(vinyl)cinnamate (PVC) surface with UV (ultraviolet) light irradiation were investigated. It was found that the threshold voltage increases with increasing the polymerization of PVC surfaces. We observed that the domain size of a-TN-LCD decreases with increasing the photo polymerization by increasing UV light irradiation time on PVC films. Also, we observed that the viewing angle of a-TN-LCD increased with increasing the photo polymerization on PVC surfaces. Finally, we consider that the viewing angle of a-TN-LCD on PVC surfaces is large compared to a-TN-LCD on polyimide (PI) surface.

Recently, the fringe-field switching (FFS) mode in liquid crystal displays has been used mainly for high image quality and high-resolution liquid crystal displays (LCDs). In this review paper, the fundamental switching principle of the FFS mode, with its excellence over other LC modes in electro-optic performance, will be described. In addition, the development history, present technical issues, and future of the FFS LCD will be discussed.
