Electro-optical (EO) performances of the ion beam (IB) aligned twisted-nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) with ion beam exposure on the new diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin film surface were investigated. A good voltage-transmittance (V-T) curve of the ion beam aligned TN-LCD with oblique ion beam exposure on the DLC thin film surface for 1 min was observed. Also, the fast response time of the ion beam aligned TN-LCD with oblique ion beam exposure on the DLC thin film surface for 1 min can be achieved. Finally, the residual DC voltage of the ion beam aligned TN-LCD on the DLC thin film surface is almost the same as that of the rubbing aligned TN-LCD on a polyimide (Pl) surface.

In this paper, we studied the electro-optical(EO) performance of photo-aligned twisted nematic(TN)-liquid crystal display(LCD) with oblique non-polarized ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation on polyimide (PI) surface. The monodomain alignment of photo-aligned TN-LCD is obtained with an angle of incidence of $85^{\circ}$ on PI surface. Also, we observed that the voltage transmittance and response time characteristics of photo-aligned TN-LCD is almost same compared to rubbing treated TN-LCD. Finally, we measured that the voltage-holding-ratio(VHR) of photo-aligned TN-LCD is almost same compared to rubbing treated TN-LCD.

Electro-optical (EO) characteristics of the ion beam (IB) aligned twisted nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) with oblique ion beam exposure on the diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin film surface were studied. An excellent voltage-transmittance (V-T) curve of the ion beam aligned IN-LCD was observed with oblique ion beam exposure on the DLC thin film surface for I min. Also, a faster response time for the ion beam aligned TN-LCD with oblique ion beam exposure on the DLC thin film surface for 1 min can be achieved.

We have studied a liquid crystal (LC) mode (named locked super homeotropic (LSH)) in which the LCs aligned homeotropically are locked by surrounding walls such as cubic, hexagonal and cylinder. In the device, the vertically aligned LCs tilt down symmetrically around the center of the cell when a voltage is applied and thus it exhibits wide viewing angle. The structure of this LSH mode is suitable for large-sized display panels. since the LCs are locked in micro domains the LCs do not flow to the bottom of the panel by gravity. This mode is applicable to achieve high performance TFT-LCD TV because of high performance characteristics such as high contrast, high brightness, wide-viewing angle.

We synthesized photoalignment material of high thermal resistance with hydroxyl aromatic polyimide, and studied the liquid crystal (LC) aligning capabilities on the photopolymer layers. Also, electro-optical (EO) performances for the twisted-nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) photoaligned with linearly polarized UV exposure were investigated. A good LC alignment with UV exposure on the photopolymer surface can be obtained. However, the low pretilt angles were obtained below $1^{\circ}$. The Voltage-transmittance (V-T) curve without backflow bounce in the photoaligned TN cell with UV exposure was observed. The response time of photoaligned TN cell was measured about 24 ms. Finally, The photoaligned TN cell has few hysteresis, and shows the residual DC voltage that is less.

최근에 많이 사용되는 휴대용기기의 표시장치인 액정표시장치를 보면 반사형 액정표시장치가 많이 사용되고 있다. 반사형 액정표시장치는 표시장치의 전력소모의 많은 부분을 차지하는 backlight 를 주변 광원으로 대체하여 전력소모를 줄일 수 있는 표시장치로서 많이 연구되고있다. 최근에 연구되고있는 반사형 표시장치를 살펴보면 반사형 TN (Twisted Nematic) LC 모드가 주류를 이루고 있으나 콘트라스트비가 낮은 단점이 있다$^{[1]}$ . 이를 극복하기 위하여 반사형 VA (Vertical Aligned) LC 모드가 제시되어진다. VA LC 모드는 TN LC 모드와 반대로 음의 유전율 이방성을 가지는 액정물질을 이용하여 유리기판에 수직으로 배향시킨 모드로서, 전압이 인가되지 않은 초기상태에는 액정 cell 이 복굴절을 전혀 나타내지 않는다. TN LC 모드와 정확히 역의 구조를 가진다. 그리하여 초기상태에서 편광판 한 장과 광대역 λ/4 위상지연판을 사용하여 뛰어난 어두운 상태를 구현할 수가 있다. (중략)

The electrooptic properties of the reflected light in a reflective mode, $45^{\circ}C$twisted nematic liquid crystal (TNLC) cell were investigated in the voltage regions near and away from the Freedericksz transition threshold. The measured reflectivity away from the threshold voltage ($V_th$) could not be described by the model which assurnes a constant tilt angle as well as a linearized distribution of twist angle across the cell, although the data are well fitted near $V_th$. We found that in the voltage region away from $V_th$, the model considering the distributions of the tilt angle and the twist angle should be applied for the calculation of the reflectivity. The director-axis distributions were obtained from the numerical integration of the Euler-Lagrange equation.

현재 액정 표시장치는 액정의 유전율 이방성 특성에 따라 Positive LC 와 Negative LC로 구분되어 개발 된다. Positive LC에는 TN(Twisted Nematic)모드와 IP(In Plane Switching) 모드가 있다. Negative LC에는 VA(Vertical alignment) 모드가 있다. 데이타 전압을 교류구동 시키므로, LCD Pixel들은 극성반전을 하게 되며, 이때 특정 Pattern에서 화면상에 비정상적인 색깔이 나타난다. 특정 Pattern이란 데이타 전압이 교류구동을 할 때, Vcom Level이 데이타 전압에 의한 Coupling 때문에 왜곡이 발생되고, 이 왜곡에 의하여 레드, 그린, 블루 Pixel의 충전을 차가 발생해서, 화면의 좌우는 적색편향 하게 보이고, 중앙은 녹색편향 발생된다.

Evaluating methods of the polar and/or azimuthal anchoring strength coefficients by means of the renormalized transmission spectroscopic ellipsometry are demonstrated. The Anchoring strength coefficients can be evaluated from the measurement of ellipsometric parameters measured by the oblique incident transmission ellipsometry, where the effect of multiplebeam interference is eliminated. The device parameters such as the pretilt angle and cell gap can be determined simultaneously even in the case of the twisted nematic liquid crystal sample cells.
