  • We have designed a novel single cell gap transflective display associated with dual orientation of the liquid crystal. Owing to hybrid alignment in reflective part, the effective cell retardation value becomes half of cell retardation value in transmissive part where the LCs are homogeneously aligned. This study shows the possibility to manufacture the transflective display with a single gamma curve for reflective and transmissive region. The new device shows a high image quality with relatively easy fabrication.

  • 고분자 안정화 블루상 액정셀(Polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal cell)은 ${\mu}s$ 단위의 응답속도와 광시야각 및 액정의 배향을 위한 문지름 과정이 필요 없는 장점이 있다. 그러나 높은 구동전압과 낮은 kerr 상수값으로 인해 유도되는 복굴절의 값이 낮아 고분자 안정화 블루상 액정셀의 전기광학특성을 저해하는 요인이 되었다. 본 논문에서는 지그재그 형태의 전극 구조를 제안하고 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안된 전극 구조를 가지는 액정셀의 투과율 손실 없이 구동전압을 25%이상 낮출 수 있음을 확인하였다.

  • We investigated the generation of high pretilt angle for nematic liquid crystal (NLC) in the cell with slanted non-polarized ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation on two kinds of the polyimide (PI) film. It was shown that the monodomain alignment in NLC is obtained in the cell with slanted non-polarized UV light irradiation on PI surface. The pretilt angle of NLC is generated about 3 degrees in the cell with slanted non-polarized UV light irradiation with 70 degrees on PI surface without side chain. But, the pretilt angle of NLC is generated about 1 degree in the cell with slanted non-polarized UV light irradiation with 80 degrees on PI surface with side chain. We consider that the pretilt angle generation in NLC is attributted to anisotropic dispersion force between the LC molecular and the PI surface.

  • For the high reflectance under the ambient light condition, a highly efficient diffractive reflector has been proposed, based on a micro grating structure.[1] This reflector was designed to show highly concentrated distribution of the reflected light to the normal direction of the reflector under specific incident conditions of the light. In order to apply a diffractive reflector to a reflective liquid crystal display, the coupling between the viewing angle characteristics of a liquid crystal (LC) cell and the reflective distribution of the reflector should be considered. Under the optimum configuration confirmed through the analysis of the coupling between a LC cell and a reflector, a reflective vertical alignment (VA) cell with a diffractive reflector shows contrast ratio and brightness much higher than that with a conventional bumpy reflector.

  • In this paper, a general performance of the PSS-LCD or Polarization Shielded Smectic Liquid Crystal Display is discussed. This smectic base LCD does not use any spontaneous polarization, but uses induced polarization just sa me with current nematic base LCDs. Specific initial molecular alignment as well as specific cell design realizes ext remely fast optical response speed with native wide viewing angle. Moreover, this performance is provided by full compatible electronics for current conventional LCDs. A general performance of the PSS-LCD is introduced herein.

  • In this paper, we propose a novel electrode structure for superb transmittance in super in-plane switching (S-IPS) mode while keeping the features of the conventional SIPS mode such as the capability of initial LC alignment. The optimization of the electrode made it possible to enhance the light transmittance approximately by 14 % in comparison to the conventional S-IPS cell.

  • We have presented in the paper preliminary results on physical characteristic parameters of a photopolymer LPPF 301 CP. The weak azimuthal anchoring energy (${\sim}5.0{\times}10^{-6}J/m^2$) of a photopolymer was measured by using a simple optical method. High pretilt up to $30^{\circ}$ has been achieved in the photoaligned cell by irradiating an obliquely incident UV light.

  • A system for high-resolution analysis of defective elementary cell (R, G or B) on Flat Panel Display (FPD) is described. Based on multiple acquisitions of low-resolution shifted images of the display, our system doesn't require a high-resolution sensor neither tedious alignment of the display, and will remain up to date even facing an important increase of the display dimensions. Our process, highly automated and thus flexible and robust, is expected to perform a full analysis in less than 60s. It is mainly intended for production tests and display classification by manufacturers.

  • The shearing effects on the electro-optical properties of a stressed cholesteric liquid crystal were investigated. A photopolymer was dispersed in the cholesteric liquid crystal cell. By carefully choosing the mixing ratio between the liquid crystal and the photoreactive monomer, and by applying suitable mechanical shearing on the substrates, a cholesteric liquid crystal display with a low threshold voltage and no alignment layer was demonstrated.
