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 designed cost competitive pixel structures for high performance mobile PVA LCDs. These new structures significantly bring down the price by the use of a conventional polarizer for lowest possible cost. A 4.3" prototype based on these techniques was built, achieving the world's highest mobile display contrast ratio of 1200:1, while maintaining wide viewing angle with no loss of transmittance

Conventional hybrid aligned nematic liquid crystal display (HAN-LCD) has several advantages on low operating voltage, fast response time and rubbing free on one substrate. We have fabricated a new hybrid aligned nematic display driven by fringe field. The new device exhibits much wider viewing: angle than that of the conventional HAN mode, owing to almost in-plane rotation of the LC director. Furthermore, we have developed the device that reveals more efficient electro-optic characteristics by placing common electrode on top and bottom substrates. In this paper, the electro-optic characteristics of the novel cell are investigated.

We proposed azimuthally continuous nematic domain mode characterized by a cone field induced from patterned electrode structure with a circular slit. This mode has good optical performances such as higher transmittance and wider viewing angle through decreasing the demerits caused by domain walls. We could confirm to these optical characteristics by the manufactured sample.

The fringe-field switching (FFS) mode was known to exhibit both a wide viewing angle and high transmittance, especially when using the liquid crystal (LC) with negative dielectric anisotropy. In the device, the LC director rotates almost in-plane. However, in the bright state the device shows bluish and yellowish color along parallel and perpendicular to the LC director at off-normal directions since the LC director rotates only in one direction. Such a problem was greatly improved using a wedge shape of only pixel electrodes. In this way two different field directions exist in a pixel, enabling the LC director to rotate in two opposite directions. Consequently, owing to dual domain effect when using the LC with negative dielectric anisotropy, the viewing angle characteristics are greatly improved.

A novel fast-switching LCD with dual-domain bend (DDB) mode is described. DDB alignment is achieved using antiparallel-rubbed cell filled with chiral-doped LC. Initial alignment is mono-domain 180-degree twist. Tilt direction is controlled by oblique electric field to be counter direction in each domain. Twist-to-DDB deformation occurs continuously so that DDB mode does not require high-voltage initialization which is inevitable in Optically Compen sated Bend (OCB) mode. DDB gives wide and symmetric viewing angle in contrast to mono-domain bend formed from 180-degree twist showing strong asymmetry.

본 논문에서는 최근 LCD소자에 있어서 큰 이슈로 등장한 표면 액정배향기술 및 광시야각 기술에 관하여 설명하였다. 표면 액정배향기술에 있어서는 종래의 러빙법에 대신하여 편광된 자외선을 조사하여 액정분자를 배열시키는 광배향제어법이 큰 기대를 모으고 있으며, 이 기술은 프리틸트 각 발생제어기술과 신뢰성이 과제로 남아있다. 광시야각 기술에 있어서는 최근까지 여러 방식이 제안되어왔으며 그 중에서도 현재로는 광학보상법, IPS방식 등이 실용화가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 향후 다른 방식의 기술발전 여부에 따라 상황이 변화될 것으로 예상된다. 각각의 방식에 따라 서로 장단점을 지니고 있어 향후 이용분야에 따라 용도를 나누어서 응용될 것으로 기대되어진다. LCD소자는 이러한 기술개발의 결과로 평판디스플레이 소자 중에서 더욱 확고한 위치를 확보할 것이며 더 많은 시장성을 점유할 것으로 전망된다. 이상으로 본 논문에서는 LCD소자의 표면액정 배향기술 및 광시야각 기술에 관하여 해설하였으며 표면액정 배향기술에 관하여는 간단히 소개하였으나 이 내용에 관하여는 다음 기회에 상세히 소개하기로 한다.

Since the introduction of CRT(Cathode Ray Tube) in the 1950s, display technologies have been developed continuously. Flat panel displays such as PDP(Plasma Display Panel) and LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) were commercialized in the late 1990s, and OLED(Organic Light Emitting Diodes) and Micro-LED(Micro-Light Emitting Diodes) are now being developed and are becoming widespread. In the future, we expect to develop ultra-realistic, flexible, embedded sensor displays. Ultra-realistic display can be applied to AR/VR(Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality) devices and spatial light modulators for holography. The sensor-embedded display can be applied to robots; electronic skin; and security devices, including iris recognition sensors, fingerprint recognition sensors, and tactile sensors. AR/VR technology must be developed to meet technical requirements such as viewing angle, resolution, and refresh rate. Holography requires optical modulation technology that can significantly improve resolution, viewing angle, and modulation method to enable wide-view and high-quality hologram stereoscopic images. For electronic skin, stable mass production technology, large-area arrays, and system integration technologies should be developed.

We introduce a display for virtual-reality (VR) fire training. Firefighters prefer to wear and operate a real breathing apparatus while experiencing full visual immersion in a VR fire space. Thus, we used a thin head-mounted display (HMD) with a light field and folded optical system, aiming to both minimize the volume for integration in front of the face into a breathing apparatus and maintain adequate visibility, including a wide viewing angle and resolution similar to that of commercial displays. We developed the optical system testing modules and prototypes of the integrated breathing apparatus. Through iterative testing, the thickness of the output optical module in front of the eyes was reduced from 50 mm to 60 mm to less than 20 mm while maintaining a viewing angle of 103°. In addition, the resolution and image quality degradation of the light field in the display was mitigated. Hence, we obtained a display with a structure consistent with the needs of firefighters in the field. In future work, we will conduct user evaluation regarding fire scene reproducibility by combining immersive VR fire training and real firefighting equipment.
