We fabricated a hybrid aligned film using reactive rod-like mesogen to reduce light leakage of twisted nematic(TN) cell in off-axis of the dark state. We proved that the fabricated compensation film has hybrid alignment by changing phase retardation according to polar angle. In this paper, we confirmed characteristics of compensation film through simulation results and found the matching factor of simulation results and experimental result. In result, the maximum pretilt angle of hybrid compensated film is $19^{\circ}$ which has phase retardation 0.1445.

This paper describes the out-of-plane order of a liquid crystalline(LC) methacrylate copolymer(3) comprised of a methacrylate(1) with a 4-styrylpyridine moiety as the photo-cyclodimerizable group and a benzoate moiety as the mesogenic group in the side chain, and another methacrylate(2) with a 4-(4-methoxyphenyl)benzoate moiety as the mesogenic group. The composition of 1 and 2 units in 3 was estimated to have a molar ratio of 54.2:45.8 by $^{1}H$ NMR spectroscopy. The X-ray diffraction study revealed that the copolymer forms a partial bilayer smectic structure. The copolymer gave rise to a high out-of-plane order parameter of about 0.74 in a wide LC temperature range of $110{\sim}160^{\circ}C$ after linearly polarized, UV light irradiation and subsequent annealing. Moreover, the external reflection IR analysis indicated that excess UV-light irradiation makes the out-of-plane LC structure of the copolymer appear in a higher and wider temperature range.

In this study, we investigated the generation of pretilt angle for nematic liquid crystal (NLC) in a cell with oblique non-polarized ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation on polyimide (PI) surfaces. It was found that the monodomain alignment of the NLC is obtained with an angle of incidence of $70{\sim}85^{\circ}$ on PI surface. We consider that the monodomain alignment of NLC is attributed to anisotropic dispersion force due to photo-depolymerization of polymer on PI surfaces. Also, pretilt angle of NLC is generated about $3^{\circ}$ with an angle of incidence of $70{\sim}75^{\circ}$. It is considered that the pretilt angle generation in NLC is attributed to interaction between the LC molecules and the polymer surfaces.

In this paper, we obtained that the monodomain alignment of nematic liquid crystal (NLC) increases with increasing irradiation time with linearly polarized ultraviolet (LPUV) light irradiation on polyimide (PI) surfaces. It was found that the monodomain alignment of NLC is obtained in a cell with normally LPUV light irradiated on PI surface at 30 min. and then oblique LPUV is secondly irradiated on PI surfaces rotated by $90^{\circ}$. The pretilt angle of NLC is generated about $2.5^{\circ}$ with oblique angle of $60^{\circ}$ and then decreased with increasing the oblique angle of IN light irradiation. It is considered that the pretilt angle of NLC is attributed to the photo-depolymerization of polymer with the oblique angle of UV light. The voltage-transmittance and response time characteristics of photo-aligned twisted nematic (TN)-LCD with UV light irradiation time of 60 min. were almost same in comparison with rubbing treated TN-LCD.

We found that polyimide surfaces bombarded by a low energy argon ion beam align liquid crystals. The pretilt angle of the liquid crystals is controlled by ion beam parameters, such as the energy of the incident ions, the angle of incidence, exposure time and current density. The alignment direction of liquid crystal on substrates corresponded to ion beam direction. By argon ion beam the pretilt angle of the liquid crystals was controlled between $0.5^{\circ}$ and $4^{\circ}$for SE-3140 under the proper conditons. By the atomic force microscope (AFM), polyimide surfaces before and after bombarded by ion beam are compared.

Polyimides (PIs) exhibit excellent thermal stability, mechanical, dielectric, and chemical resistance properties due to their heterocyclic imide rings and aromatic rings on the backbone. Due to these advantageous properties, PIs have found diverse applications in industry. Most PIs are insoluble because of the nature of the high chemical resistance. Thus, they are generally used as a soluble precursor polymer, which forms complexes with solvent molecules, and then finally converts to the corresponding polyimides via imidization reaction. This complexation with solvent has caused severe difficulty in the characterization of the precursor polymers. However, significant progress has recently been made on the detailed characterization of PI precursors and their imidization reaction. On the other hand, much research effort has been exerted to reduce the dielectric constant of PIs, as demanded in the microelectronics industry, through chemical modifications, as well as to develop high performance, light-emitting PIs and liquid crystal (LC) alignment layer PIs with both rubbing and rubbing-free processibility, which are desired in the flat-panel display industry. This article reviews this recent research progresses in characterizing PIs and their precursors and in developing low dielectric constant, light-emitting, and LC alignment layer PIs.

Electro-optical (EO) characteristics of in-plane switching (IPS) cell on the polyimide surface using obliquely ion beam (IB) exposure as new ion beam (IB) type system (DuoPIGatrion ion source). A good uniform alignment of the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) alignment with the ion beam exposure on the polyimide surface was observed. In addition, it can be achieved the good EO properties of the ion-beam-aligned IPS-cell on poly imide surface ; the stable VT curve in the ion-beam-aligned IPS cell on a poly imide (PI) surface with ion beam exposure using new type IB equipment was obtained. and the fast response time in the ion-beam-aligned IPS cell on a polyimide (PI) surface with ion beam exposure using new type IB equipment was obtained.

본 논문에서는 PVA(Patterned Vertical Alignment)액정 셀의 광투과율 향상을 위한 새로운 전극 구조를 제안하였다. 제안한 전극 구조의 액정 디렉터의 분포 및 광투과율 계산은 상용 시뮬레이터인 'TechWiz LCD'를 사용하였다. 광 시야각을 위한 전극구조에 의해 투과율 감소를 발생시키는 부분에 대해 연구하여 그 부분의 액정 디렉터 분포를 변화시킬 수 있는 구조를 제안하였다. 그리고 기존 PVA모드와 제안한 구조를 사용한 PVA모드의 광투과율을 계산하여 비교하였다. 그 결과로부터 제안한 PVA액정 셀의 광투과율이 높아짐을 확인할 수 있었다.

Vertically well-aligned ZnO nanowire (NW) arrays were synthesized directly on GaN/sapphire and Si substrate from Zn vapor deposition without catalysts. Experimental results showed that the number density, diameter, crystallinity and degree of the alignment of ZnO NWs depended strongly on both the substrate position and kind of the substrates used for the growth. The photoluminescence (PL) characteristics of the grown ZnO NW arrays exhibit a strong and sharp ultraviolet (UV) emission at 379 nm and a broad weak emission in the visible range, indicating that the obtained ZnO NWs have a high crystal quality with excellent optical properties. The as-grown ZnO NWs were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high resolution transmission electronic microscopy (HR-TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

액정 디스플레이에서 시야각 향상을 위해 사용하는 보상판과 편광판을 접합한 복합판의 광축 틀어짐 오차와 보상판의 $R_{in}$(in-plane retardation), $R_{th}$(out-of-plane retardation)를 동시에 결정하는 새로운 방법을 제시하였다. 보상판은 광축이 임의의 기울임각과 방위각을 갖는 o-판으로 하였으며, 확장된 존스 행렬법에 기반한 광학모델을 도입하여 복합판의 편광특성을 분석하였다. 입사각 0도와 50도에서 시료의 방위각을 360도 회전시키며 투과된 빛의 편광상태를 각각 계산한 후, 타원법의 모델링 분석기법을 적용하여 광축 틀어짐과 복합판의 기울임각과 방위각들을 역방계산하였다. 이 방법은 편광판과 보상판을 접합한 후에도 복합판의 성능평가를 할 수 있어 제조공정단계를 줄여 제조 원가를 절감하는데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
