This study focuses on the color characteristics of FFS (Fringe Field Switching). We use various methods to prove the high performance of color characteristics in the Fringe Field Switching mode. We have described a color performance of 15" XGA product by the viewing angle range using x, y parameters of CIE chromaticity diagram. And so we used the 2 dimensional analyzing to prove the color shift distribution by viewing angle.

In this study, we proposed a novel electrode structure for the fringe field switching (FFS) mode LCD and performed a three-dimensional computer simulation to calculate the optical transmittance for the new structure. In the simulation Erickson-leslie equation and Berreman $4{\times}4$ matrix were used for obtaining the director distribution profiles of liquid crystal molecules and the electro-optical characteristics, respectively. Considering the complexity of the motional equation of the liquid crystal molecules, FDM (finite difference method) was used as a numerical method. From the results, We revealed that the light transmission of the newly designed pixel structure is expended to the edge of the pixel electrode. We also confirmed that the light transmittance increased more than 13% compared to that of the conventional electrode structure.

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 Pl). The suitable organic layers for FFS cell and the aligning capabilities of nematic liquid crystal (NLC) using the in-situ photo-alignment method were studied. An unstable V-T curve of UV-aligned FFS-LCD with conventional photo-alignment method can be achieved. However, a stable V-T curve of UV-aligned FFS-LCD with in-situ photo-alignment method (1h), 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 FFS-LCD's, As a result, more stable EO performance of UV-aligned FFS-LCD with in-Situ photo-alignment method is obtained than that of the other UV-aligned FFS-LCD's.

We studied on the reverse twist near the pixel edge depending on the rubbing direction for the fringe field switching (FFS) mode. Liquid crystal (LC) dynamic and the transmittance near the pixel edge, where the various field directions are generated, depend on the initial rubbing direction because the position of reverse twist is decided by the angle between the electric direction and the LC director at a bias voltage. For example, when the rubbing angle is $7^{\circ}$, the reverse twist appears on the bottom position of the right sharp comer of the pixel edge so that the reverse region exists far away from main active region. But, when the rubbing angle is $-7^{\circ}$, the reverse twist appears on the top position of the right sharp comer of the pixel edge, resulting that the region becomes more close to the main active area and the unstable disclination lines (DLs) easily intrude into the active region. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the reverse twist region far from the active region and it is possible by controlling the rubbing direction in the design of a pixel electrode.

The light efficiency of fringe-field switching (FFS) mode when using a liquid crystal (LC) with positive dielectric anisotropy was found to be dependent on the magnitude of dielectric anisotropy, such that the lower dielectric anisotropy, the higher. We studied out not only light efficiency but also response time according to dependence on the magnitude of dielectric anisotropy. Rising and decay time became fast and slow respectively according to decreasing the magnitude of dielectric anisotropy. This paper investigates electro-optical characteristic of FFS mode using LC with a positive dielectric anisotropy dependent on the magnitude of dielectric anisotropy of the LC.

Homogeneously aligned nematic liquid crystal modes are representatively the -FFS (fringe-field switching) mode using liquid crystal (-LC) with negative dielectric anisotropy, the +FFS mode and the IPS (in-plane switching) mode using +LC with positive dielectric anisotropy. In view of image quality evaluation standard of LCD, we compared characteristics of the brightness, the contrast ratio (CR) and color shift when the modes have respectively optimized phase retardation values $(d{\Delta}n)$. Consequently, in the most sensitively viewing angle of a man's physical vision, both FFS modes have advantage over the IPS mode from the brightness & the CR point of view. We are also confirmed that the +FFS mode out of them shows the smallest color shift according to all viewing directions in grey levels.

The fringe-field switching (FFS) display is known to exhibit wide-viewing-angle and high transmittance. We have simulated pretilt effects on electro-optic characteristic of the device when a liquid crystal with positive and negative dielectric anisotropy is used. The results show that asymmetry in contour of luminance and light leakage in the dark state are increased but voltage-dependent transmittance curves remain about the same, as the pretilt angle increases to $10^{\circ}$.

We have studied transflective liquid crystal displays (LCDs) associated with fringe-field switching (FFS) mode to achieve high image quality. In the past, several cell structures were used to fabricate transflective FFS liquid crystal display s. Their structures and characteristics are carefully examined to find their merits and cons. Further, optimization of cell parameters to achieve a single driving circuit is performed.

Color tracking behavior of in the fringe-field switching (FFS) mode using a liquid crystal with positive dielectric anisotropy has been studied. In the in-plane switching and vertical alignment devices, color chromaticity at normal direction changes from bluish to yellowish white linearly with increasing grey levels from dark to white state. Interestingly, abnormal behavior in color tracking is observed in FFS devices using a liquid crystal with positive dielectric anisotropy, that is, it changes from bluish to yellowish up to a certain middle grey level but turns over to bluish white with further increasing from a grey level to a fully white state. In this paper, we analyze this abnormal effect from the calculated and experimental results.

The light efficiency of fringe-field switching (FFS) mode was found to be dependent on the magnitude of dielectric anisotropy, indicating that the voltagedependent maximal effective cell retardation value in the on state is a function of magnitude of the dielectric anisotropy of the LC.
