We have performed computer simulation and experiment to obtain electro-optic characteristics of reflective hybrid aligned nematic (R-HAN) cell driven by fringe field, in which the cell consists of polarizer, optical compensation film, LC layer and reflector. Conventional R-HAN cell driven by fringe field using only the LC layer shows high wavelength dispersion at dark-state and thus viewing angle characteristic is strongly wavelength-dependent. In order to improve this demerit, we added one optical compensation film to conventional R-HAN cell. The display with optimized cell parameters shows low wavelength dispersion at dark-state and exhibits a wide viewing angle without the occurrence of grey scale inversion over a wide range of viewing angles and the contrast ratio greater than 5 over exists about 120$^{\circ}$ in vortical direction and 160$^{\circ}$in horizontal direction. Experimental results show good agreements with theoretical results and fast response time.

We designed a low cost optical structure of transflective LCD that uses only a half number of retardation films compared to general active matrix transflective LCD. The prototype embodied by this design shows reasonable reflective and transmissive performance. This design would provide us thinner, lighter and cheaper product due to its reduced retardation film structure.

LCD(Liquid Crystal Display)는 현재 정보 디스플레이 소자들 중 부피가 작고, 소비전력이 작으며, 비발광체로서 눈의 부담을 줄일 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있으나, 화면 표시 속도가 느려 잔상이 남는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 개선하기 위해서는 응답속도가 빠른 액정이 요구된다. 반사형 LCD는 배면조명이 없어 가볍고, 주변 광원을 이용하여 저 소비전력의 장점을 가지고 있어 휴대성이 강조되고 있는 최근 정보통신기기들의 추세에 적합하다. (중략)

최근에 많이 사용되는 휴대용 기기의 표시장치인 액정표시장치(LCD)에는 반사형이 많이 사용되고 있다. 반사형 LCD는 전력소모의 많은 부분을 차지하는 backlight를 주변광원으로 대체하여 전력소모를 줄일 수 있는 표시장치로 많이 연구되고 있다. 특히, 반사형 LCD는 밝기면에서 우수한 single-polarizer mode가 적합하다$^{1.3}$ . 그러나 single-polarizer mode는 two-polarizer mode와 비교해서 dark 상태에서의 누설광이 많이 발생하여 대비비가 저하되는 단점이 있다. 이 점을 보완하기 위하여 전 파장 영역에서 편광판에 의해 반사광이 차단될 수 있도록 설계를 했다.

The reflective liquid crystal(LC) imager in one panel Liquid Crystal on Silicon(LCoS) System must have the properties such as fast response time, high contrast ratio(C/R) and voltage holding ratio(VHR) which are more related to the lifetime of imager than the others. As the high-output light including a short wavelength from UHP lamp is exposed to LCoS imager, the indium metal impurities, which decrease the C/R and VHR, are diffused from ITO thin film on glass. To ensure the high reliable LCoS imager for HD projection TV, we have studied the effects of the plasma treatment on ITO film to reduce impurities in imager.

We have designed a single gap transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) driven by a fringe electric field and vertical field. The conventional FFS mode does not have an electrode on top substrate, it shows not only slow response time due to weak electric field but also slow discharging problem when electrostatic field is generated after fabricating the cell. To solve these problems, transflective LCD with ITO coated upper substrate was suggested but the transmittance was reduced significantly due to effects from vertical field. Hence, in the present paper, new transflective LCD with ITO coating only in the reflective region was characterized.

We have studied a single gap transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) associated with in-plane switching (IPS) mode. In the transmissive IPS cell, the transmittance of electrodes and above electrodes is different, that is, the degree of rotation of the LC director between electrodes and above electrodes is 45 $^{\circ}$ and 22.5 $^{\circ}$ , respectively. Utilizing the different rotating angle of the LC director and in-cell retarder with a quarter-wave plate used below the LC layer, the IPS transflective LCD is realized such that the area between electrodes is used as a transmissive part and the area above electrodes is used as a reflective part.

Researches about micro technology travel lively in these days. Such many researches are concentrated in the field of materials and a process field. But properties of micro materials should be known to give results of research developed into still more. In these various material properties, reliability data such as mechanical, optical, thermal property, etc is the basic property. In this paper, it is measured that is material properties of main BLU(Back Light Unit) components in LCD(Liquid Crystal Display). The pattern shape of prism sheet, diffuser film and reflective plate are measured by variable 3D scanning equipments. It is researched which is the method to measure an optimal 3D pattern shape in each components.

We designed and fabricated a single polarizer mode bistable twisted nematic liquid crystal display by employing a wide-band λ/4 retardation film to enhance the dark state property. We theoretically and experimentally confirmed the necessity of a wide- band λ/4 retardation film in a single polarizer mode. We obtained brighter image than previous reflective BTN LCDs.
