We have studied cell gap-dependent electrode-optic characteristics of the FFS mode using the LC with negative dielectric anisotropy. In case of a small cell gap of 2 ${\mu}m$, the transmittance at the center of pixel and common electrodes is low due to stronger influence of surface anchoring that holds the LC to the initial state than twisting force induced by neighboring LCs. In case of a large cell gap of 4 ${\mu}m$, the influence of surface anchoring force becomes weak so that the LCs at the center of pixel and common electrode can be twisted enough by applied voltage, giving rise to high transmittance. Therefore, we conclude that the light efficiency in the device is dependent on the cell gap.

In this paper, we propose a cell structure to improve transmittance and aperture ratio with FFS(Fringe Field Switching) mode. As an exemplary cell, we selected conventional FFS cell with dual domain. Optical transmittance and aperture ratio were calculated with 3DFEM numerical solver, TechWiz LCD. The simulation results revealed that transmission increases by more than 10% while aperture ratio increases by more than 4% when compared to conventional FFS mode.

In general, Single gap transflective FFS display has an in-cell retarder (ICR) between reflective electrode and liquid crystal (LC) layer. Therefore, Operating voltage is highly increased due to this thick dielectric material. But, we also knew the phenomenon that the increasing rate of Vop is different whether the 1st common electrode was composed of plate type or slit type. In this paper, the common electrode in transmissive part was composed of slit type which had less steepness effect of the V op and in reflective part was composed of plate type. The rubbing angle of reflective part can be adjusted properly to match the voltage dependent transmittance and reflectance.

In this study, we investigated the electro-optical (EO) characteristic of fringe-field switching (FFS) mode cell by the two kinds of ultraviolet (UV) alignment method on the organic thin film (polyimide: PI). The suitable organic layers for FFS cell and the aligning capabilities of nematic liquid crystal (NLC) using the in-situ photoalignment method were studied; Disclination is observed after conventional photoalignment method for 1h, and in-situ photoalignment method for 1h. Monodomain alignment of the NLC can be observed via insitu photo alignment method for 2 h and 3 h. It is considered that NLC alignment is due to photo-depolymerization of the polymer with oblique non-polarized UV irradiation on PI surface. An unstable V-T curve of UV-aligned FFS-LCD with conventional photoalignment method can be achieved. However, a stable V-T curve of UV-aligned FFS-LCD with in-situ photoalignment method (1 h), and V-T curve of UV-aligned FFS-LCD with in-situ photo alignment method was much stable comparing with that of other UV-aligned FFSLCD's. As a result, more stable EO performance of UV-aligned FFS-LCD with in-situ photoalignment method for 3h is obtained than that of the other UV-aligned FFS-LCD's.

본 논문에서 방전 또는 스파크로 인한 전기화재, 폭발사고 및 감전 사고의 위험 없이 고주파 고전력을 안전하게 전달할 수 있는 새로운 형태의 실용적인 자기케이블을 처음으로 제안하였다. 또한, 케이블 사이에서 발생하는 누설자속에 대한 자기저항을 주변효과(fringe effect)까지 고려하여 정량적으로 해석하였다. 자기케이블에 상쇄코일, 상쇄금속판, 상쇄금속관과 같은 상쇄실드 적용함으로써 자기케이블 사이의 누설자속을 급격히 줄여 콤팩트한 자기케이블을 구현하였고, 장거리 전력전송을 가능하게 하였다. 입력전류 $10A_{rms}$(20kHz)에서 상쇄금속관이 적용된 1.5m길이, 5cm의 케이블 사이의 간격을 갖는 자기케이블로 353.8W의 전력을 68%효율로 전달하였다. 이는 상쇄금속관을 적용하지 않았을 때에 비해 출력전력은 약 25배, 효율은 약 7배 높은 수치다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 자기케이블의 성능 특성을 실험과 자장 시뮬레이션을 통해 분석 및 검증하고 비교하였으며, 기대했던 우수한 성능을 실제로 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 폴리이미드 박막위에서의 수직 및 수평배향에서 혼합액정의 배향 특성에 대해서 연구하였다. 혼합액정은 러빙을 이용하여 배향처리하였으며, 러빙에 사용된 폴리이미드 박막은 알킬기를 Side Chain으로 가진 수직배향용 배향막과 그렇지 배향막으로 나누어서 프리틸트각 특성을 측정하였다. 실험결과 혼합액정을 사용하여 양호한 배향상태를 얻을 수 있었으며, 고온에서의 열 안정성에서도 우수한 특성을 보이는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 프리틸트각의 발생 원리를 이해하기 위해서 접촉각 측정을 실시하였으며, 이 둘이 밀접한 상관관계를 갖고 있음을 알 수 있었다

This work reports the simple fabrication of the single cell gap transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) using wire grid polarizer. The nano sized wire grid polarizer was patterned on common electrode itself, on the reflective part of FFS (Fringe field switching) mode whereas the common electrode was unpatterned at transmissive part. However, this structure didn't show single gamma curve, so we further improved the device by patterning the common electrode at transmissive part. As a result, V-T curve of proposed structure shows single gamma curve. Such a device structure is free from in-cell retarder, compensation film and reflector and furthermore it is very thin and easy to fabricate.

Most liquid crystal display modes, including the twisted nematic (TN) $mode^1$, the in-plane switching (IPS) $mode^2$, the fringe field switching (FFS) $mode^3$, and the vertically aligned (VA) $mode^4$ are based on either a horizontal or a vertical alignment. However, for some applications, such as no-bias-bend (NBB) pi cell or bistable bend-splay display, an intermediate pretilt angle is essential$^5$. NBB pi cells have been a focus of interest because of their fast response time; however, the reliable control of the intermediate pretilt angle of liquid crystals that is required for the fabrication of NBB pi cells is challenging. The controllable pre-tilt angle of liquid crystals was investigated using a blend of horizontal and vertical polyimide prepared by a rubbing method. Various pretilt angles in the range from 0^{\circ}$ to 90^{\circ}$ were achieved as a function of the vertical polyimide content. We observed uniform liquid crystal alignment on the rubbing-treated blended polyimide layer. A NBB pi cell with an intermediate pretilt angle of 47.8^{\circ}$ was manufactured. This cell had no initial bias voltage and a low threshold voltage, which indicates that it has low power consumption. In addition, the response time of the NBB pi cell was rapid.
