  • We fabricated a flexible ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) device containing polymer walls and networks which fix plastic film substrates. The device using 100-${\mu}m$-thick substrates could be bent in a radius of 7mm without disordering the FLC alignment. When sandwiched between polarizers a roll-up display with high-speed grayscale capability for moving-image displays was created.

  • 일반적으로, 표시 소자에서 원하는 색을 얻기 위해서는 가색 혼법, 감색 혼법 두 종류의 색 혼합 방법을 사용한다. 가색 혼법은 액정 cell에 적색, 녹색, 청색의 칼라 필터를 사용하여 3가지 색을 더함으로 색을 표현하는 방법이다. 가색 혼법은 매우 높은 명암 대비비를 얻을 수 있으며, 노트 PC와 휴대용 소자를 포함한 대부분의 LCD 분야에 적용된다. 그러나, 밝은 상태의 광 세기가 이론적으로 입사광의 1/3로 줄어들기 때문에 투과율이 낮다는 단점이 있다. (중략)

  • Liquid crystal (LC) devices can be operated as amplitude modulators and phase modulators. They usually require two polarizers; therefore the optical efficiency is limited. We introduce two general principles of polarization-free liquid crystal devices and also show several LC devices by applying the principles.

  • This paper presents a theoretical investigation of power reflection and transmission coefficients for a meander-line polarizer placed periodically on a chiral slab. It is assumed that a linearly polarized transverse magnetic wave is incident on a chiral slab from the air region. In the analysis, we derive the electric and magnetic fields in the modal form in the air and chiral regions. We obtain power reflection and transmission coefficients in a straightforward manner after matching the tangential components of the electric and magnetic fields at the boundaries. We present numerical results for the power reflection and transmission coefficients versus frequency and incident angle for different values of the chirality admittance. A meander-line polarizer placed on a dielectric slab can convert a linearly polarized wave to a circularly polarized wave. The design parameters for a meander-line polarizer are the dimensions of the meander-line and the values of the dielectric slab. Replacing a dielectric slab with a chiral slab introduces a new independent parameter which controls the wave polarization.

  • We have studied polarity effects of dielectric anisotropy effects on electro-optical characteristics of a twisted nematic mode driven by fringe electric field, which has wide viewing angle characteristics. Our device is designed as normally black mode between parallel polarizers. The perfect polarization conversion of incident light, which passes through a polarizer, is achieved, when it passes through the twisted liquid crystal (LC) layer. If an electric field is applied, the LC molecules with a positive (or negative) dielectric anisotropy rotate parallel (or perpendicular) to the horizontal component of a fringe electric field as increasing transmittance. From the calculated results, enhanced transmittance of the fringe field-twisted nematic (FF-TN) mode with positive dielectric anisotropy of + 8.2 can be obtained.

  • We have studied electro-optic characteristics to improve viewing angle of the in-plain switching (IPS) liquid crystal display using an compensation film. The IPS mode shows relatively large light leakage and color shift in diagonal directions in a dark state. To solve this problem, we have compensated the low contrast ratio in diagonal directions using one optimized discotic film and adjusting TAC films of polarizers. The compensated IPS mode shows wide viewing angle characteristics that region of CR 50:1 is over $60^{\circ}$ of polar angle in all directions. The optimized IPS cell exhibits much better performances than other methods do in terms of CR and color uniformity.

  • In this paper, the theoretical analysis and the computer simulation of a new modified cochran's triangular interferometer as an incoherent holography, which can eliminate bias and conjugate image problems of the conventional cochran's triangular interferometer, are spresented. In other words, it is theoretically derived by using jones matrix operation that bias and conjugate image can be removed by adding simple optical components including a polarizing beam splitter, wave plates, and linear polarizers to the conventional with a point source, we demonstrated the validity of the suggested method by comparing the modified cocharan's triangular interferometer with the conventional one.

  • 3D displays requires multiplexing of left and right pictures on the same screen so that they can be viewed independently by the view using various schemes, including LCD shutters, polarizers, narrow band filters, and lenticular lenses on the screen. All these methods reduce the effective screen brightness by as much as 10X. The eye responses to the lower brightness are analyzed and found to compensate partially giving a lower perceived brightness. This paper presents such eye response analysis and a low cost approach to increasing brightness in a RPTV using the long life DPR system, increasing the screen brightness by over 2.5 times, while maintaining acceptable lamp lifetime.

  • The conventional liquid crystal displays (LCDs) have been using optically uniaxial liquid crystal (LC) medium and this often causes a significant image change at oblique viewing angles. We simulated the viewing angle properties of the biaxial nematic (Nb) phase of a bent-core liquid crystal (BLC) and compared the results with the vertically aligned (VA)- and the in-plane switching (IPS)-LCDs. The Nb phase of the BLC showed a smaller transmittance at the dark state as well as a greater contrast ratio at wide viewing angle. The viewing angle property of the Nb-mode without any compensation film was slightly superior to the IPS-mode with the compensation films eliminating the decross of the polarizers at oblique viewing angle.
