We investigate nematic liquid crystal (NLC) alignment on ion-beam exposed ZnO films. ZnO is optically transparent material in the visible range. We optimized the deposition parameters such as deposition temperature and gas ratio for high transmittance and resistivity. Using ion-beam treated ZnO films, LC cells are fabricated and the conditions such as exposure energy and time for uniform alignment are found. The NLC molecules align parallel to the ion-beam exposure direction. The electro-optic and response characteristics show the possibility of application of this method in liquid crystal display.

In this paper, we obtained the monodomain alignment of nematic liquid Crystal(NLC) in the cell fabricated by transcription alignment method on polyimide(PI) surface with side chain. It is considered that the LC alignment produced by the transcription alignment method is attributed to a memory effect of the NLC on PI surfaces. Also we observed that the generated pretilt angle of NLC is about $3.7^{\circ}$ with transcription alignment on PI surface. Next, we measured that the voltage-transmittance characteristics of transcription-aligned TN-LCD are almost same compared to rubbing-aligned TN-LCD. Also, we measured that the curve of transcription-aligned TN-LCD is less sharp than that of the rubbing-aligend TN-LCD in the decay time characteristics. It is considered that the response time characteristics of transcription-aligned TN-LCD are attributed to the weak anchoring strength between the LC molecules and the polymer surface.

In the present work, a Ni-doped indium zinc oxide (NIZO) film and its multilayers with Ag layers were investigated as transparent conducting electrodes for liquid crystal display (LCD) applications, as a substitute for indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes. By interposing the Ag layer between the NIZO layers, the loss of the optical transmittance occurred; however, the Ag layer brought enhancement of electrical sheet resistance to the NIZO/Ag/NIZO multilayer electrode. The twisted nematic cell based on the NIZO/Ag/NIZO multilayer electrode exhibited superior electro-optical characteristics than those based on single NIZO electrode and was competitive compared to those based on the conventional ITO electrode. An LCD-based NIZO/Ag/NIZO multilayer electrode may allow new approaches to conventional ITO electrodes in display technology.

Optical instruments based on polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) have been used to inspect transparent electrodes. Generally the operating voltage of an inspection instrument using PDLC is very high, over 300 V, reducing its lifetime and reliability. The operating-voltage issue becomes more serious in the inspection of touch-screen panel (TSP) electrodes, due to the bezel structure protruding over the electrodes. We have theoretically calculated the parameters affecting the operating voltage as a function of the distance between the TSP and the PDLC, the thickness, and the dielectric constant of the sublayers when the inspection module was away from the TSP electrodes. We have experimentally verified the results, and have proposed a way to reduce the operating voltage by substituting a plastic substrate film with a hard coating layer of smaller thickness and higher dielectric constant.

광감응성 azobenzene 그룹이 분자의 주위 환경에 따라 광이성화 반응이 변화하는 것을 in-situ UV/Vis 분광 실험법과 광학 이방성 측정법을 이용하여 조사하였다. 4-Hyhoxyazobenzene을 포함하는 필름에 광조사함과 동시에 trans-isomer와 cis-isomer 특성 피크의 세기 변화를 측정하여 azobenzene 그룹의 가역적이며 반복적인 광이성화 반응을 알수 있었다. Azobenzene 자기조립체 박막이 입혀진 기판을 액정 셀의 배향막으로 사용하여 액정의 배향을 유도하였을 때, trans-azobenzene 그룹들이 조밀한 packing을 하며 기판에 수직으로 배열한 자기조립체 구조 때문에 액정 분자들도 수직 homeotropic 배향을 하였다. 이와 같은 자기조립체 박막의 액정 셀에 UV 빛을 노광하면 azobenzene그룹이 광이 성화 반응을 일으켜 cis-isomer로 변하게 되며, 이로 인해 액정의 배향이 수직에서 수평 planar 배향으로 변함을 알 수있었다.

In this study, the advanced DuoPIGatron-type ion beam (IB) system was applied to inorganic thin film for aligning liquid crystal (LC). LC alignment on $Ta_2O_5$ via IB irradiation was embodied. As a result of IB irradiation, the homogeneously aligned liquid crystal display (LCD) on $Ta_2O_5$ was observed with low pretilt angles. The $Ta_2O_5$ were deposited on indium-tin-oxide coated Coming 1737 glass substrates by rf magnetron sputtering at $200^{\circ}C$. The deposition process resulted in forming very uniform thin film on glass substrates without any defects. To confirm the application of the inorganic alignment on modem display optical devices, we fabricated twisted nematic LCD and measured optical property and response time. As a result of the experiment, the electro optical characteristics of the LCD fabricated by using IB irradiation on $Ta_2O_5$ alignment layer were similar with the other LCD fabricated by using rubbing process.

Liquid phase epitaxy(LPE)법을 이용하여 ZnO co-doped Er:$LiNbO_3$, 단결정 박막을 $LiNbO_3$ (001) 기판 위에 성장시켰다. ZnO co-doped Er:$LiNbO_3$박막 성장의 초기 융액은 첨가제 $Er_2O_3$ 농도를 1 mol%로 고정시키고 ZnO 농도를 3,5 mol%로 조절하였다. ZnO co-doped Er :$LiNbO_3$박막의 결정성은 $LiNbO_3$ 기판보다 더 우수하였다. ZnO 5mol% 첨가한 경우 박막의 표면에는 수직한 방향과 평행한 방향으로 모두 압축응력이 작용하고 있었다. 또한 ZnO 3mol% 첨가된 Er :$LiNbO_3$박막의 표면은 원래의 $LiNbO_3$기판보다 더 평탄하였다

We developed a new RF indirect-heating LPE furnace. The thermal gradient of our newly developed furnace is less than that of direct heating, and is as gentle as that of the resistance-heating LPE furnace. With this new furnace, the heating and/or cooling is faster than that of the resistance-heating furnace. Impurity-doped YIG film was grown from a $PbO-B_{2}O_{3}$, based flux on a (111) GGG substrate. To study the effect of the impurities on the MSSW threshold power and the saturation response time, we used two microstrip lines to excite and propagate the MSSW at 1.9 GHz. The MSSW threshold power and saturation response time was found to be related to the $\Delta$H.
