We have studied the electrically controlled birefringence (ECB) mode using reactive mesogen (RM) monomer to control pretilt angle and improve electrical characteristics. The measure of capacitance confirmed new pretilt angle by RM monomer, and Voltage Holding Ratio (VHR) was increased more than normal ECB cell.

We have studied the optically compensated splay (OCS) mode using reactive mesogen (RM) monomer to reduce critical voltage, setting voltage and phase transition time from initial bend to splay state. Through the polymerization of UV curable RM monomer, the high pretilt angle from vertical alignment was formed at the surfaces. In this way, orientation of the LC with OCS mode can be achieved without setting voltage and improved electric characteristic.

A single gap transflective liquid crystal display(LCD) driven by fringe electric field in the transmissive(T) region and vertical electric field in the reflective(R) region was designed. Because the pretilt angle is formed in $53^{\circ}$ through polymerization of an UV curable reactive mesogen(RM) monomer at the surface, the effective cell retardation $(d{\Delta}n_{eff})$ value of the R region becomes half of that in the T region where the LCs are homogenously aligned. Consequently, a transflective display driven by a vertical and fringe electric field with a single cell gap and single gamma curves is realized.

We proposed a novel single gap transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) using liquid crystal with negative dielectric anisotropy. We designed cell structure driven by fringe electric field in the transmissive (T) part and vertical electric field in the reflective (R) part. In the device, high surface pretilt angle of the LC in the R-part is achieved through polymerization of an UV curable reactive mesogen (RM) monomer at surfaces. By optimizing the parameters, a newly developed transflective display has characteristics such as single gap and single gamma curve.

OCB mode has advantages such as fast response time and wide viewing angle. But it has inevitable shortcoming which initial splay state must be changed to bend state. To overcoming this problem, OCB cell filled LC with RM monomer was cured by UV when voltage applied. Through previously mentioned methods, even if electric field is none, bend state was made by stabilized LC director. In this paper, we investigated the electric characteristics of polymer stabilized OCB mode.

We have studied the optically compensated splay mode using reactive mesogen (RM) monomer to reduce setting voltage and phase transition time from initial bend to splay state. When the OCS cell has low pretilt angle close to $45^{\circ}C$, OCS state can be formed easily. The low pretilt angle was formed through the polymerization of UV curable reactive RM monomer at the surfaces. In this way, reorientation of the LC is well defined and thus the device shows better performances in setting voltage and phase transition time.

Optically compensated bend (OCB) mode has intrinsic characteristics such as wide viewing angle and fast response time. However, in order to operate the OCB mode in bend state, this device needs quick transitions from the initial splay state to bend state. In this paper, we proposed OCB mode with initially bend state using reactive mesogen (RM) monomer for surface polymer stabilization. The device shows continuous reorientation of the LC with applied field and a very fast response time.
