We have investigated the generation of pretilt angle and alignment stability for a nematic liquid crystal (NLC) with obliquely polarized UV exposure on the three kinds of photo-polymer. High pretilt angle of the NLC was obtained by polarized UV exposure on a PM4Ch surface for 1 min. But, the low pretilt angle of he NLC on a PVCi surface was observed. The pretilt angle generated is attributed ot the photosensitivity by the long side chaining of photo-polymer. Also, a good thermal stability of the three kinds of photo-polymer were obtained by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) measurement until 300$^{\circ}C$. Finally, the good LC aligning capabilities using the photodimerization method were observed by annealing-treatment until 150$^{\circ}C$.

Aligning capabilities for nematic liquid crystal (NLC) using a in-situ photodimerization method on various Photo-crosslinkable Polyimide (Pl) based polymer and blending photopolymer surfaces were investigated. High pretilt angle of the NLC can be measured by obliquely polarized UV exposure on a photo-crosslinkable polyimide based polymer surface containing biphenyl (BP), decyl (de), and cholesteryl (chol) group, respectively. However, the low pretilt angle of the NLC was measured by obliquely polarized UV exposure on the blending photopolymer (Pl and cinnamate materials) surfaces. Consequently, the pretilt angle of the NLC generated on the photo-crosslinkable polyimide based polymer surfaces using the in-situ photodimerization method was higher than that of the blending photopolymers.

Sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy (SFVS) has been used to study the molecular orientations at the polymer surfaces for liquid crystal alignment. Various molecular orientations appear at the surface depending on various types of surface treatments and polymers.

Polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films were prepared by the phase separation method using the liquid crystal (E7) and prepolymers. This work investigated the electro-optical characteristics of various PDLC films. In order to have good contrast ratio, the polymer refractive index must be adjusted to the ordinary refractive index of the liquid crystal. The driving voltage of PDLC films were mainly affected by elastic deformation. E7-Ebecryl810-IOA-TMPTA-HMPPO system had good threshold voltage and driving voltage and E7-Ebecryl810-EHA-PEGDA-HMPPO system had good contrast ratio.

Application of liquid crystal (LC) materials to a flexible device is challenging because the bending of LC displays easily causes change in thickness of the LC layer and orientation of LCs, resulting in deterioration in a displayed image quality. In this work, we demonstrate a prototype device combining a flexible polymer substrate and an optically isotropic LC-polymer composite in which the device consists of interdigitated in-plane switching electrodes deposited on a flexible colorless polyimide substrate and the composite consisting of nano-sized LC droplets in a polymer matrix. The device can keep good electro-optic characteristics even when it is in a bending state because the LC orientation is not disturbed in both voltage-off and -on states. The proposed device shows a high potential to be applicable for future flexible LC devices.

We have proposed a high performance liquid crystal display using two thin film transistors (TFTs) for the large size TFT-LCD desirably 42inch WXGA panel for TVs. The device generates stronger electric fields to reorient liquid crystals than that in the conventional IPS device because the voltages with opposite polarity with respect to the common electrode are applied to each finger-type electrode. As a result, the operation voltage of 2Tr-IPS mode can be decreased and the transmittance can be increased compared to conventional IPS device. Consequently, the 2Tr-IPS has all the advantages over conventional IPS from large size point of view.

We fabricated thin film polarizer by coating lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals (LCLCs) dissolved in anionic monomer solution. Compared to water-based technique, the new method provided many advantages such as excellent coatability, good adhesion to various substrates, and superb surface hardness.

We demonstrate an electro-optical device based on the flexoelectric effect of a short-pitched cholesteric liquid crystal. By using a dual-frequency switchable nematic, a small amount of chiral dopant and a small amount of phase-separated polymer localized on the surface, we were able to create a device that operates in amplitude (flexoelectric) and phase(dielectric) modes. At high frequency the dual frequency liquid crystal suppresses the phase mode at higher voltage, which improves the switching speed, and thereby preserving the in-plane-switching mode.

From UV irradiation, we achieved homeotropic liquid crystal alignment on blended photo-polymer layer which is composed of polyvinyl-cinnamate (PVCi) and homeotropic polyimide (PI). From vertical alignment (VA) mode, we measured threshold voltages by various PVCi doping concentration. Also, the rise time and fall time of VA cells were measured to verify the best doping concentration. Transmittance curves showed about 70% value between 380 nm and 780 nm wavelength which mean visible region.
