In assessing risks related to working posture, pictures of postures are taken from various directions, which can be a source of observation error. Joint postures of the neck, lower back, knee, shoulder, and elbow were taken from 7 different viewing angles and 19 observers estimated joint angles by observing the pictures in 2-dimensional display. The joint angles were also measured using an optoelectronic motion measurement system. The estimation error increased as the viewing angle varies from the right side of the human body, but the patterns differ according to which joint angles were being observed. Guidelines to increase the validity of observation of joint angles were presented based on the results. In general, it is recommended to maintain the viewing angle within 20 degrees from the right side of the human body, while different ranges of viewing angle are recommended for each joint angle.

We propose viewing angle switchable liquid crystal display(LCD) associated with fringe-field switching (FFS) mode with high aperture ratio characteristic. This device is composed of R(red), G(green), B(blue), pixel and W(white) pixel in which R,G,B pixel shows image and white pixel for both viewing angle control and image. Conventional viewing angle controllable liquid crystal display has not transmittance because the liquid crystal only tilts up without rotates in viewing angle control region. In this paper, we suggested that the device has high transmittance characteristic because the LC directors are rotated in which viewing angle control region are generated fringe electric field.

We have proposed a novel viewing angle controllable display of in-plane switching (IPS) mode with single panel. One pixel of this device is divided to two regions, in which main pixel shows image and sub pixel for viewing angle control. In initial state, the liquid crystal of sub pixel is homogeneous aligned on substrate for wide viewing angle mode. On the other hand, after applying voltage, the liquid crystal of sub pixel tilts up for narrow viewing angle mode. The proposed device has advantage for the function for simple manufacturing process and good viewing angle control with single panel.

A complete analysis of the color-viewing-angle properties of different displays is presented herein using color-viewing-angle measurements made with a Fourier-optics system. The color gamut in the CIE u'v' chromatic plane was computed for all the viewing angles. The introduction of the lightness using the $L^*a^*b^*$ color space allowed a more precise analysis of the emissive properties of each display. The displays can be directly compared using a common reference. The viewing-angle dependence can be analyzed in full detail using the on-axis values as reference. The gravity center behavior and area of the color hull were computed for a more precise evaluation and comparison.

We have developed a new multidomain vertical-alignment (MVA) mode using a homeotropic photopolymer that provides a wider viewing angle for nematic liquidcrystal (NLC) with negative dielectric anisotropy. Good voltage-transmittance curves for he new MVA cell using the homeotropic photopolymer were observed. The viewing angle of the new MVA cell using the homeotropic photopolymer was wider than that of the conventional VA cell. The wide viewing angle using the new MVA cell is attributable to 4-domain by the ribs with UV exposure on the photopolymer.

We suggest a viewing angle control mode of liquid crystal display(LCD) with additive thermal controllable optical layer [TCOL], which composed of homeotropically or homogenously well aligned LC layer and patterned hating lines on a substrate. In this system, LCD modes with wide viewing angle characteristics can be used as a main panel.

We have performed computer simulation to obtain a globa1 optimization of power consumption and viewing angle characteristic of reflective twisted nematic (R-TN) mode liquid crystal display (LCD) with sin81e polarizer and λ/4 plate. Our studies shout that with increasing the twist angle, a steepness of reflectance-voltage curve increase, operation voltages decreases, the region where contrast ratio (CR) greater than 10 increases but the reflectance of the white state starts to decrease at above the twist angle of 75$^{\circ}$. Above the twist angle of 90$^{\circ}$, the R-TN mode LCD shows the most favorable combination of low consumption and good viewing angle characteristic.

Because of its weak points that narrow viewing angle and grayscale inversion, 'bare' twisted nematic (TN) LCD has some limits to use as a display device, though its great strong points that low cost, high yield, simple design, high transmittance and normally white. The 'WideView(WV)' film which introduced by Fuji co., has been good solution to extend the viewing angles of TN mode, therefore that film have been used generally for TN panels needed wide viewing angle. This paper introduce the research to find the parameters of the Wide view film and a TN panel which affect viewing angle characteristics and how to adjust those parameters.

We proposed viewing angle switchable liquid crystal display(LCD) associated with fringe-field switching (FFS) mode with high aperture ratio characteristic. In the device, single pixel is separated into two regions, named as main pixel for displaying images and sub pixel for viewing angle control. In sub pixel region, add the common electrode on the top substrate and the initial alignment of liquid crystal is Hybrid Alignment Nematic (HAN) state. In conclusion, we suggested that the device has high aperture ratio characteristic because the LC directors are rotated in which viewing angle control region are generated fringe electric field.

Characteristics of reflective LCDs, which have gained a lot of notice in recent years, rely largely on optical design of circular polarizers and the quarter-wave plates, as a component. Important design includes wavelength dispersion, viewing angle, uniformity of display and matching of refractive index. Our work has contributed to improving performance of reflective LCDs by enhancing the characteristics of polymer film using stretching and optical lamination technologies. To design that offers higher contrast and wider viewing angle, we have discovered that it is necessary to control viewing angle variation of the polarizing axis in order to compensate for the viewing angle of the polarizing film as well as the optical anisotropic properties of liquid crystal. Applying this technology to circular polarizers used for reflective LCDs enables design of wide viewing angle circular polarizers. In order to realize higher contrast for reflective LCDs, it is also necessary to design other optical materials including polarizing films. For design of hybrid optical film, it is particularly necessary to reduce surface reflection and interface reflection. This paper also reports our findings concerning this topic.
