The response time characteristic of low voltage liquid crystals (LCs) is investigated and a new simulator for low voltage LCs is proposed. In order to enable low voltage operation, it is important to minimize Vth of LCs and variation of pixel voltage caused by dynamic capacitance operation of LC Display. Because dynamic capacitance variation is much larger for low voltage LC operation compared to that of conventional LC material, it is necessary to make a better model for dynamic capacitance operation. A proposed minimizing Vth of LCs and variation of pixel voltage study results through a new constant charge model improve response characteristics for low voltage LCs operation.

Residual DC voltage of the in-plane switching (IPS)-liquid crystal display(LCD) by voltage-transmittance (V-T) hysteresis method was studied. Several IPS-LCD which have different concentrations of cynao LCs and different resistivities of fluorine LCs were fabricated. We found that the residual DC voltage of the IPS-LCD was decreasing with increasing concentration of cyano LCs and increasing with decreasing specific resistivity of fluorine LC materials. The residual DC voltage property can be improved by low molecular weight and high polarity of cyano LC.

Ion bombarded inorganic materials for LC alignment has been researched as it provides controllability in a nonstop process for producing high-resolution displays. Many optically transparent insulators such as $SiOx$ and a-C:H have been investigated as potential candidates for inorganic alignment materials. Even so, LC orientation on a new material with superior capacity is required to produce high-performance displays. Many inorganic materials with high permittivities can reduce the voltage losses due to the LC alignment layer that are a trade-off for its capacitance. The minimum voltage for device operation can be applied to the LC under low external voltage using these materials. This means that low power consumption for LCD applications can be achieved using a high-k alignment structure in which the LC can be driven effectively with a low threshold voltage. Among the many other potential high-k oxides, HfO2 is considered to be one of the most promising due to its remarkable properties of high dielectric constant, relatively low leakage current, large band gap (5.68 eV), and high transparency. Due to these characteristics, HfO2 can be used in LC alignment to increase the capacitance of the inorganic alignment layer for low-voltage driving of LCs.

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.

The FFS (fringe-field switching) mode was known to exhibit both a wide viewing angle and high transmittance, especially when using a liquid crystal with negative dielectric anisotropy. 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 relatively low because effect of surface anchoring that holds the LC to the initial state is larger than that in a large cell gap of 4 .urn such that the LCs in those regions cannot rotate enough. However, in case of a large cell gap of 4 .urn, the effect of surface anchoring becomes relatively small 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 can conclude that the light efficiency is dependent on the cell gap.

We have studied an optically compensated splay (OCS) mode driven by fringe electric field. The OCS configuration obtained by applying voltage to vertically aligned LCs shows a dark state when an optic axis of the OCS cell coincides with one of crossed polarizer axis. When the fringe electric field is applied, the LC director rotates in plane above whole electrode surface, giving rise to the high transmittance, the low operating voltage and wide viewing angle simultaneously.

We fabricated an optically compensated bend cell with pixel-isolating polymer wall. The polymer wall was formed by phase separation of LCs and UVcurable polymer. The fabricated cell had initially ${\pi}-twist$ state. It showed low driving voltage, wide viewing angle and fast response properties. Also, polymer wall provided the mechanical stability preventing distortion of a display image from pressure.
