  • We fabricated a stressed liquid crystal cell by mixing liquid crystal with a photo-polymer. By carefully choosing the mixing ratio between liquid crystal and the polymer, and by suitable mechanical shearing of the substrates, we demonstrated feasible electro optical properties for displays.

  • This paper reports a methodology for calculating distribution of the director in an In-plane switching liquid crystal cell by a numerical technique. To calculate distribution of the director, we developed a three dimensional finite element method (FEM) and calculated the distribution of electric potential and electric field in the liquid crystal cell. We have considered the free-energy density composed of electric potential and strain energy in the bulk of liquid crystal cell and calculated the switching property of liquid crystal cell by the Ericksen-Leslie equation and the Laplace equation We generated 1,859 nodes and 8,640 elements for IPS mode cell with 24${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$\times$12${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$\times$4.5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and performed transient analysis until 16ms. As a result, horizontal electric field occurred at cell region except liquid crystal region above electrodes and the disclination occured on electrodes.

  • Cell gap dependence on anisotropic phase separation was studied. The results showed that the morphology of phase separation depended on cell gap and material parameters. With numerical simulation and experiments, the optimal range of cell gap in the formation of polymer layer and liquid crystal was suggested for given material parameters.

  • The shearing effects on the electro-optical properties of a stressed cholesteric liquid crystal were investigated. A photopolymer was dispersed in the cholesteric liquid crystal cell. By carefully choosing the mixing ratio between the liquid crystal and the photoreactive monomer, and by applying suitable mechanical shearing on the substrates, a cholesteric liquid crystal display with a low threshold voltage and no alignment layer was demonstrated.

  • In this study, the spectrum changes induced from the doping of phosphor micro particles in a twist nematic liquid crystal cell was observed. The experimental results show that the achromatic transmission can be observed with a proper driving condition, which may be applied to the design of an achromatic liquid crystal device. In this paper, we tried to figure out the spectrum changes induced from the doping of phosphor micro particles. The experimental result of the phosphor powder doped twist nematic liquid crystal cell shows that the achromatic transmission and the wavelength linearly dependent transmission both can be observed with some proper driving conditions, respectively. The result is useful on developing an achromatic liquid crystal device and it can be applied for Vihicle lamp.

  • Ferroelectric liquid crystal parameters, spontaneous polarization, and transition temperature were studied as a function of cell thickness. These parameters were found to increase with increasing cell thickness, but an exception was observed for the transition temperature in the case of a thin cell. A simple Landau model is presented to interpret the theoretical and experimental observations. The anomalous behavior is attributed to the electroclinic effect and is explained using the Landau model.

  • The polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal (BPLC) cell has advantages such as sub-millisecond response time, wide viewing angle and no rubbing process for the alignment of liquid crystals. However, high operating voltage and low kerr constant of the polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal deteriorate the electro-optical characteristic of the polymer-stabilized BPLC cell. In this paper, we proposed novel zig-zag electrode in cell layout and confirmed that proposed electrode shape could reduce an over 25 percent of operating voltage for BPLC cell without degradation of tranmittance by using Kerr constant simulation.

  • We studied the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) alignment capability with a new alignment method utilizing an inkjet printed polyimide (PI) layer. A good, uniform LC alignment was achieved by the good PI printing using a new alignment method. The pretilt angle generated on the printed PI layer using the alignment method was almost the same as that on printed PI layer using rubbing alignment method. In addition, the good electro-optical performances of the new aligned twisted nematic (TN) cell with printed PI surface was obtained
