We present wide-viewing characteristics of a twisted nematic liquid crystal display (TN LCD) achieved by adopting dielectric surface gratings (DSGs) as alignment layers. The experimental data and the numerical analyses consistently show that the optical compensation effect inherent to the TN LCD with the DSGs greatly reduces the contrast inversion of the TN LCD.

The electro-optical (EO) performances for the twisted-nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) photo-aligned with polarized UV exposure on various blending photopolymer surfaces were investigated. Excellent LC alignment and voltage-transmittance (V-T) characteristics for TN-LCD photo-aligned with polarized UV exposure of normal incidence on the blending photopolymer (polyimide (PI) +PM4Ch(poly(4-methacryloyloxy chalcone))) surface containing chalcone group can be achieved. The EO performances for the TN-LCD photo-aligned on the blending photopolymer can be improved due to the photosensitivity by long side chain of the photopolymer.

We investigated the electro-optical (EO) performances of the super twisted nematic liquid crystal display (STN-LCD) on the polyimide (PI) surface using polymer film. Monodomain alignment of the plastic STN-LCD can be observed. A stable voltage-transmittance (V-T) curve of the plastic STN-LCD was observed on the polyimide (PI) surfaces using polymer film. Also, a faster response time for the plastic STN-LCD on the polyimide (PI) surfaces using polymer film can be achieved. Therefore, the EO performances of the plastic STN-LCD on the polyimide (PI) surfaces using polymer film is almost the same as that of the glass STN-LCD on a polyimide (PI) surface.

We investigated the electro-optical(EO) performances of the super twisted nematic liquid crystal display(STN-LCD) on the polyimide(PI) surface with polymer film using rubbing and photoalignment method. Monodomain alignment of the plastic STN-LCD can be observed. A faster response time for the photoaligned plastic STN-LCD on the polyimide(PI) surfaces can be achieved than rubbingaligned plastic STN-LCD.

We synthesized photoalignment material of high thermal resistance with hydroxyl aromatic polyimide, and studied the liquid crystal (LC) aligning capabilities on the photopolymer layers. Also, electro-optical (EO) performances for the twisted-nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) photoaligned with linearly polarized UV exposure were investigated. A good LC alignment with UV exposure on the photopolymer surface can be obtained. However, the low pretilt angles were obtained below $1^{\circ}$. The Voltage-transmittance (V-T) curve without backflow bounce in the photoaligned TN cell with UV exposure was observed. The response time of photoaligned TN cell was measured about 24 ms. Finally, The photoaligned TN cell has few hysteresis, and shows the residual DC voltage that is less.

We present the results of a study of the polarizing photovoltaic (PV) effects in an aligned polymer bulk heterojuction PV layer. The fairly uniform in-plane uniaxial alignment of the PV layer with a macroscopic axial orientational order parameter of 0.40 was achieved by means of a simple rubbing technique. Moreover, reflective polarizing PSCs having the aligned PV layers were applied to power-generating reflective type liquid crystal displays (LCDs), which exhibited a maximum contrast ratio of 1.7. These results form a promising foundation for various energy harvesting polarization dependent opto-electrical LCD device applications.

We optimized a patterned-vertical-alignment (PVA) transflective liquid-crystal (LC) cell for small pixel application. To achieve the high resolution display performance in the mobile communication equipments such as mobile phones, personal data assistants, and tablet personal computers, we optimized the parameters of liquid crystal and the electrode structure. Both the transmittance and the reflectance are maximized at the same time.

We propose a novel technique for evaluating the azimuthal anchoring strength of the alignment film on the nematic liquid crystal (LC). In our evaluation, a unique cell, which has two domain in one cell, was used; one is hybrid aligned nematic (HAN) region, the other is twsited nematic (TN) region (viz. HAN/TN two domain cell). From the comparison of director angles on the front substrate with each region, we are able to determine the angle between easy axis and real director axis on the front substrate. From this evaluation, the azimuthal anchoring strength was obtained accurately.

We demonstrated a high speed liquid crystal (LC) display mode based on a nonchiral smectic C LC in an antiparallel planar geometry. In this antiparallel planar nonchiral smectic C (APNSC) LC mode, analog gray scales and wide viewing properties are achieved using a stepwise thermal annealing process (STAP). Because of an initially stable LC alignment in large area through the STAP, the APNSC LC mode exhibits the characteristics of fast response and high contrast ratio. This new APNSC mode is suitable for processing the dynamic image at a video rate in the next-generation LCDs.

The Conventional patterned vertical alignment (PVA) device shows a very high contrast ratio at normal direction and does not require rubbing process. However it has a disclination area in which the liquid crystal can be collision in the boundary domain region. In this paper, we studied PVA(Z-shape) device in which the liquid crystal can be tilted down in multiple directions stably because the surface pretilt angle is controlled by photopolymerization of the UV - curable reactive mesogen (RM) under a proper condition. Consequently, the device shows improved electro optical properties as compared to conventional PVA mode.
