We proposed viewing angle switchable liquid crystal display(LCD) associated with fringe-field switching (FFS) mode with high aperture ratio characteristic. In the device, single pixel is separated into two regions, named as main pixel for displaying images and sub pixel for viewing angle control. In sub pixel region, add the common electrode on the top substrate and the initial alignment of liquid crystal is Hybrid Alignment Nematic (HAN) state. In conclusion, we suggested that the device has high aperture ratio characteristic because the LC directors are rotated in which viewing angle control region are generated fringe electric field.

We have studied 90$^{\circ}$ twisted nematic mode switching by fringe electric field(F-TN mode) using a liquid crystal (LC) with negative dielectric anisotropy. In the device, two polarizers are parallel each other, electrodes exist only on bottom substrate, and one of rubbing direction is coincident with polarizer axis. Therefore, the cell shows a black state before a voltage is applied. With a bias voltage generating fringe-electric field, the LC twists perpendicular to fringe electric field such that the LCs are almost homogeneously aligned except near the bottom surface since the negative type of the LC is used. Consequently, the new device exhibits much wider viewing angle than that of the conventional TN mode due to in-plane switching and relatively high transmittance since the LC director above whole electrode area aligns parallel to the polarizer axis.

We propose a high-transmittance multi-domain vertical alignment liquid crystal device with a protrusion structure. Disclination lines, which inevitably appear at the boundaries of domains in a multi-domain structure, can be reduced by adding a protrusion structure on the top substrate. The transmittance was improved by 11% using the proposed structure with no change of either the dark state or the operating voltage.

We present a method that enables dual threshold voltages in a vertical alignment liquid crystal device, through which the gamma shift can be reduced with no subsequent decrease in the contrast ratio. By forming polymer layers, the threshold voltage shift is accomplished through the utilization of the voltage drop effect. We expect that the proposed method can be applied to the conventional 4-domain mode in order to achieve an 8-domain mode without the need for complex driving schemes.

We have studied the narrow viewing angle liquie crystal displays (LCDs) using a hybrid aligned nematic liquid crystal (LC) cell driven by a fringe field. The device using a LC with positive dielectric anisotropy has a relatively low transmittance. This paper describes how to improve light efficiency by optimizing electrode structure. The results show that the device exhibits a high transmittance of 90%, low driving voltage and narrow viewing angle less than $20^{\circ}$ along horizontal direction which is highly effective for private display application.

We propose viewing angle switchable liquid crystal display(LCD) associated with fringe-field switching (FFS) mode with high aperture ratio characteristic. This device is composed of R(red), G(green), B(blue), pixel and W(white) pixel in which R,G,B pixel shows image and white pixel for both viewing angle control and image. Conventional viewing angle controllable liquid crystal display has not transmittance because the liquid crystal only tilts up without rotates in viewing angle control region. In this paper, we suggested that the device has high transmittance characteristic because the LC directors are rotated in which viewing angle control region are generated fringe electric field.

We present a fast-switching electro-optical device based on flexoelectro-optic effect in short pitch cholesterics oriented in uniform lying helix texture. The device has two operating modes: amplitude and phase modulation mode. The amplitude modulation mode is a fast in-plane switching of the device optic axis that enables to achieve a high percent of modulation of the transmitted light intensity whereas the phase mode gives a continuous change of the refractive index and thus of the phase shift of the transmitted light. By using a small concentration of diacrylate monomer and selecting the illumination conditions we have been able to create a inhomogeneous polymeric network mostly localized at both substrate surfaces and stabilize the two switching modes.

Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) films, of which the liquid crystal has negative dielectric anisotropy, were prepared from the phase separation between MJ001317 and a variety of compositions of resins by common polymerization induced phase separation method. In this work, the effects of resin compositions have been systematically investigated and it was found that the morphology and size of droplet, which is closely related to electro-optic properties, mainly depend on the rate of polymerization and cross-linking density for each resin composition. The reverse mode PDLC films from this newly developed formulation containing TPGDA/EHA/HMPPO showed the good off-state transmittance, contrast ratio (19/1), and relatively low driving voltage(10V).

We demonstrated stability-enhanced liquid crystal (LC) displays using pixel-isolated LC mode in which LC molecules are isolated in pixel by horizontal polymer layer and vertical polymer wall. The device shows good electro-optic properties against external point or bending pressure due to the polymer structures. The polymer wall acts as supporting structure from mechanical pressure and prevents the cell gap from bending. Moreover, the polymer layer acts as an adhesive to ensure a tight attachment of the two substrates. We present herein various methods for producing polymer structures by using an anisotropic phase separation from LC and polymer composites or patterned micro-structures for stable flexible liquid crystal displays.
