  • Nanoparticles-induced vertical alignment (NIVA) in the liquid crystal (LC) devices was observed and has been applied successfully on fabricating the hybrid-aligned nematic LC cells and guest-host LC cells. In this talk, we will discuss the characteristics of the electric and optical properties of NIVA-LC cells with different dopant concentrations and demonstrate that nanoparticles can be spin-coated on the substrate at a low temperature.

  • Now a days, many different kinds of display technologies such as Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED), and Liquid Crystal On Silicon (LCOS) are designed. And these display technologies will be used in many application products like High Definition Televisions (HDTVs) or mobile devices. In this paper, pattern generation circuit for display test is proposed. The proposed circuit will be embedded in the control circuit of display chip. Two differenct kinds of patterns is generated by the circuit. One is block pattern for color test, and the other is line pattern for pixel test. The shape of test pattern is determined by the values of registers in pattern generation circuit. The circuit is designed using Verilog HDL RTL code.

  • A liquid crystal device with switchable dynamic and memory modes was investigated and developed. The proposed device reveals the splay, $\pi$-twist, and bend states via selective switching among them. In the dynamic mode, the device is operated in the bend state, which exhibits a wide viewing-angle and a fast-response-time due to its self-compensated bend structure and flow-accelerated fast response time, respectively. In the memory mode, the permanent memory characteristics in the splay and $\pi$-twist sates are obtained, respectively. The switching mechanisms of the tristate device are also proposed.

  • We developed a method for adhesion of two substrates with stable liquid crystal (LC) structures using patterned microstructure and LC/polymer composite materials. In the device, the LC molecules are isolated in pixels where LCs are surrounded by patterned microstructures, and two substrates are tightly attached each other by the solidified polymer produced by anisotropic phase separation by UV exposure. These devices show very good mechanical stability against external pressure.

  • We have studied color tracking of a fringe-field driven homogenously aligned nematic liquid crystal (LC) cell with negative dielectric anisotropy and compared it with other devices such as the twisted nematic(TN) and in-plane switching(IPS) modes. According to studies, the TN device shows bluish color at grey scale and even at a low retardation cell it cannot avoid color tracking. The authentic IPS device having cell retardation value of 0.23 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ also shows bluish white color. However, the FFS device shows excellent color tracking characteristics even at high retardation value of the cell while keeping high transmittance and greenish white.

  • Amorphous silicon thin-film transtors (TFT's) have been designed and fabricated on glass substrates. The hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin-film has been deposited by decomposing silane(SiH4) in hydorgen ambient by rf glow discharge method. Amorphous silicon nitride(a-Si:H) has been chosen as the gate dielectric material. It has been prepared by decomposing the mixed gas of silane(SiH4) and ammonia(NH3). The electrical properties and performance characteristics of the thin-film transistrs have been measured and compared with the requirements for the switching elements in liquid crystal flat panel display. The results show that liquid crystal flat panel displays can be fabricated using the thin-film transistors described in this paper.

  • Liquid crystals (LCs) which utilize the phase above blue phase temperature range are also known to format the optically nanostructured composites devices based on Kerr effect these days. We report electro-optical characteristics of the polymer-stabilized cholestric LCs by using UV curable monomers at the different temperatures such as blue phase temperature range, blue phase-isotropic transition temperature, and isotropic temperature range. The devices exhibit different electro-optic characteristics.

  • The present processing sequence for solar cells is very elaborate and ads to the cost of the fabricated cells. This processing cost, which accounts for about 30% of the total cost, can be reduced if the many high temperature sequences can be reduced without significantly reducing the cells energy conversion efficiency. By using the spin-on glasses (SOG) in conjunction with the conventional tube furnace (CTF) or rapid thermal annealer (RTA), the many high temperature process can be reduced to only one. In order to achieve efficiencies similar to the standard high temperature sequences using the solid or liquid sources, some basic characterization of the groove diffusion is necessary to ascertain the its suitability. This paper describes the work done in diffusing the buried contact grooves using the phosphorus SOG.
