We investigated the electro-optic characteristics of a fringe-field driven twisted nematic (TN) display using a LC with negative dielectric anisotropy depending on electrode structures. The fringe-field driven TN mode known to exhibit wide viewing angle and excellent color characteristics over a wide viewing range and high transmittance. However, when the electrode width and distance between them is large enough, the transmittance is lower than the conventional vertical field-driven TN mode. By narrowing the electrode width and distance, the transmittance reaches the same value of the conventional TN mode.

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.

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.

A nonlinear numerical analysis of orientation and velocity fields of the full Ericksen-Leslie theory for a nematic liquid crystal under shear flow is given. We obtained for the first time the three-dimensional orientation and two component velocity profiles evolutions for both in- and out-of-shear plane orientation anchorings. Complex evolution routes to steady state were found even for shear aligning nematic. As the Ericksen number increases monotonic evolution of velocity and orientation shifts towards multi-region nucleating director rotation growth with complex secondary flow generations. We found that contrary to the in-shear-plane anchorings like homeotropic or parallel anchorings, binormal anchoring gives rise to substantial non-planar three-dimensional orientation with nonzero secondary flow.

In this paper, we propose Pseudo-TN IPS mde(Pseudo-Twisted Nematic In-Plane Switching mode) based on IT(In-plane switching Twisted nematic) mode that increase contrast ratio from improving optical characteristics and analyze the characteristics of Pseudo-TN IPS uude. Optical transmittance is 25% higher for the PTN-IPS mode than for the IT mode. Because aperture ratio of the PIN-IPS is increased. And the control of Liquid Crystal for adjusting optical transmittance is more easier than IT mode, because optical transmittance variation is linear with applying voltage. Contrast ratio is 8% lower for the PTN-IPS mode than for the IT mode in the horizontal direction. But, Contrast ratio is 20% higher for the PTN-IPS mode than for the IT mode in the vertical direction. It has also cell gap margin and many benefits of IT mode, this may be used very well in the future LC Cell design.

Using theoretical analysis based on Landau theory, it is shown that only five phenomenological parameters are necessary to describe the twelve bulk elastic constants of a biaxial nematic phase. Further, a simple method for determining the values of these five parameters experimentally is given. Comparison with the values of the well-known splay, twist, and bend elastic constants of the uniaial nematic is made.

Surface driven switching of the liquid crystal bulk arising from the coupling between an applied electric field and a polarized state of a nematic liquid crystal, both localized at the substrate surface, is reported. Fast switching is demonstrated in a hybrid aligned nematic cell with a fringe electric field generated by comb-like electrode structure.

We have performed computer simulation to obtain electro-optic characteristics of reflective hybrid aligned nematic liquid crystal displays driven by fringe field. The results show that the optimal retardation value of the cell is $0.289{\mu}m$, which allows for the cell to have a practical cell gap of larger than $3{\mu}m$ when manufacturing. A reflectance of the dark state is only 0.114% for an incident light 550nm. At this condition, the light efficiency of white state reaches 92.7%. Further, we have studied a new reflective display with polarizer, optical compensation with half plate, LC plus reflector. The display with optimized cell parameters shows low wavelength dispersion and the contrast ratio greater than 5 over exists about $120^{\circ}$ in vertical direction and $160^{\circ}$ in horizontal direction.
