  • Most liquid crystal display modes, including the twisted nematic (TN) $mode^1$, the in-plane switching (IPS) $mode^2$, the fringe field switching (FFS) $mode^3$, and the vertically aligned (VA) $mode^4$ are based on either a horizontal or a vertical alignment. However, for some applications, such as no-bias-bend (NBB) pi cell or bistable bend-splay display, an intermediate pretilt angle is essential$^5$. NBB pi cells have been a focus of interest because of their fast response time; however, the reliable control of the intermediate pretilt angle of liquid crystals that is required for the fabrication of NBB pi cells is challenging. The controllable pre-tilt angle of liquid crystals was investigated using a blend of horizontal and vertical polyimide prepared by a rubbing method. Various pretilt angles in the range from 0^{\circ}$ to 90^{\circ}$ were achieved as a function of the vertical polyimide content. We observed uniform liquid crystal alignment on the rubbing-treated blended polyimide layer. A NBB pi cell with an intermediate pretilt angle of 47.8^{\circ}$ was manufactured. This cell had no initial bias voltage and a low threshold voltage, which indicates that it has low power consumption. In addition, the response time of the NBB pi cell was rapid.

  • CMOS LCD driving circuits using poly-Si TFT have been designed and basic blocks including test patterns have been fabricated. Column driver drives the pixels by block because polu-Si TFT can not operate at the speed of video signal. Row driver has mode selection circuit which can select a mode between interlacing mode and non-interlacing mode. Experimental results show shift register can operate at 1MHz colck frequency with 4pF load.

  • In large liquid crystal displays, the image quality in an oblique viewing direction is a crucial issue. From this perspective, 8-domain polymer-stabilized vertical alignment (PS-VA) mode has been developed to suppress the color shift in oblique viewing directions, compared to that in 4-domain PS-VA mode. To realize the 8-domain PS-VA, the four domains in a pixel are each divided into two regions, such that applying different electric potentials result in different tilt angles in these two regions, while keeping four azimuthal directions in each domain. However, applying different voltages in a pixel causes drawbacks, such as requiring additional processes to construct a capacitor and a transistor, which will further reduce the aperture ratio. Here we propose a different approach to form the 8-domain, by controlling surface polar anchoring energy and the width of patterned electrodes in two regions of a pixel. As a result, the gamma-distortion index (GDI), measured at an azimuthal angle of $0^{\circ}$, is reduced by about 23% and 8%, compared to that of a conventional 4-domain at polar angles of $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ respectively.

  • We have proposed a high performance liquid crystal display using two thin film transistors (TFTs) for the large size TFT-LCD desirably 42inch WXGA panel for TVs. The device generates stronger electric fields to reorient liquid crystals than that in the conventional IPS device because the voltages with opposite polarity with respect to the common electrode are applied to each finger-type electrode. As a result, the operation voltage of 2Tr-IPS mode can be decreased and the transmittance can be increased compared to conventional IPS device. Consequently, the 2Tr-IPS has all the advantages over conventional IPS from large size point of view.

  • We present a polarization-dependent prism array film for controlling the viewing angle distribution of liquid crystal (LC) display panels without loss of light efficiency. On a directional backlight unit, our polarization-dependent prism array film, made into a stacked bilayer with a well-aligned liquid crystalline reactive mesogen (RM) layer on the UV-imprinted prism structure, can continuously control the light refraction function of the prism array by electrically switching incident polarization states of a polarization-controlling layer prepared by a twisted nematic LC mode. The viewing angle control properties of the polarization-dependent prism array film are analyzed under different prism angle and refractive index conditions of the RM layer. A simple analytic model is also presented to describe the intermediate viewing angle distributions with continuously varying applied voltages and incident polarization states.

  • 본 연구에서는 액정에 인가되는 전압을 조절하여 편광을 조절할 수 있는 액정 기반 편광 조절 기술을 폐쇄회로 텔레비전(CCTV)에 적용하여 사용자가 원하는 각도의 편광만을 투과시킬 수 있는 시스템을 제안한다. 기존의 편광필름이 적용된 CCTV는 역광 보정 기능에 치중되어 있기 때문에 편광을 제어할 수 없어 수면에서 반사된 빛이나 차량에서 반사된 하이라이트가 피사체 식별을 방해한다. 그러나 Vertical Alignment 모드를 사용하면 전기적으로 편광을 조절할 수 있기 때문에 사용자가 원하는 각도의 편광만 투과시켜 반사되는 하이라이트를 제거할 수 있다. 이 기술을 사용하여 얻은 이미지들은 컴퓨터 소프트웨어에 의해 최적의 이미지로 도출하였다. 편광 각도와 투과율, 편광 속도를 전기적으로 제어할 수 있는 액정 편광 패널을 편광 폐쇄회로 텔레비전에 적용하여 기존 CCTV에서의 피사체 식별을 개선하였다.

  • The electro-optical characteristics of the Liquid Crystal on Silicon (hereinafter "LCOS") micro-display on vertically alignment (VA) mode were studied depending on various cell gaps. 5 different cell gaps, such as $1.4{\mu}m,\;1.8{\mu}m,\;2.1{\mu}m,\;2.4{\mu}m$ and $2.8{\mu}m$, were selected. The reflectance-voltage (R-V) characteristics, distributions of reflected light and reflectance were calculated with 3-dimmensional LC code. At the center of cell, the smallest $1.4{\mu}m$ cell gap showed the lowest reflectance and the largest $2.8{\mu}m$ cell gap showed the highest reflectance due to the surface anchoring effect. In case of $2.1{\mu}m$ cell gap, the sum of reflectance overall cell was the highest value. Considering the reflectance and RV curve characteristic, the optimized cell gap was $2.1{\mu}m$.
