Reflective mode liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) microdisplay is the major technology that can produce extremely high-resolution displays. A very large number of pixels can be packed onto the CMOS circuit with integrated drivers that can be projected to any size screen. Large size direct-view thin film transistor (TFT) LCDs becomes very difficult to make and to drive as the information content increases. However, the existing LC alignment technology for the LCoS cell fabrication is still the mechanical rubbing method, which is prone to have minor defects that are not visible normally but can be detrimental if projected to a large screen. In this paper, application of photo-alignment to LCoS fabrication is presented. The alignment is done by three-step exposure process. A MTN $90^{\circ}$ mode is chose as to evaluate the performance of this technique. The comparison with rubbing mode shows the performance of photo-alignment is comparable and even better in some aspect, such as sharper RVC curve and higher contrast ratio.

A novel transflective-type LC mode with good display performance has been developed In order to drive both transmissive and reflective modes simultaneously without any modulation of gamma in a single-gap structure, we have introduced a new design concept in the reflective region, where the capacitance is separated into liquid crystal($C_{LC}$} and organic layer($C_{OL}$), playing a key role as a voltage divider in our cap-divided VA-mode. With this cap-divided method having both merits of simplifying process and good legibility, we have achieved good optical characteristics such as high contrast ratio and wide viewing angle in a single-gap homeotropic panel design.

Due to their periodic helical structure, cholesteric liquid crystals (CLC) have a unique ability to selectively reflect light. CLC films reflecting a broad wavelength band were prepared by inducing a pitch gradient in CLC layer through a phase separation. The reflection bandwidth of the CLC cell was broaden as irradiation light intensity decreased and as the amount of the UV absorbing dye increased. Initial reflection bandwidth of 50 nm was broaden to 300 nm Various pitch distributions in the CLC cell was observed using SEM and ATR-IR technique was used to prove that the pitch distributions are induced through the phase separation.

TFT-LCD consists of LCD panel on the top, circuit unit on the side and BLU on the bottom. The recent development issues of BLU-dependent TFT-LCD have been power consumption minimization, slimmerization and size maximization. As a result of this trend, LED is adopted as BLU instead of CCFL to increase brightness and to reduce thickness. In liquid crystal displays, the light efficiency is below 10% due to the loss of light in the path from a light source to an LCD panel and presence of absorptive polarizer. This low efficiency results in low brightness and high power consumption. One way to circumvent this situation is to use a reflective polarizer between backlight units and LCD panels. Since a nano-wire grid polarizer has been known as a reflective polarizer, an idea was proposed that it can be used for the enhancement of the brightness of LCD. The use of reflective polarizing film is increasing as edge type LED TV and 3D TV markets are growing. This study has been carried out to fabrication of the nano-wire grid polarizer(NWGP) and investigated the brightness enhancement of LCD through polarization recycling by placing a NWGP between an c and a backlight unit. NWGPs with a pitch of 200nm were fabricated using laser interference lithography and aluminum sputtering and wet etching. And The NWGP fabrication process was using by the UV imprinting and was applied to plastic PET film. In this case, the brightness of an LCD with NWGPs was 1.21 times higher than that without NWGPs due to polarization recycling.

새로운 반사형 텔레비젼 디스푸레이를 소개한다. 이 방법에서는 선상의 액체결정의 다이나믹 스캣터링 모오드(Dynamic Scattering Mode, DSM)를 이용하며 주위가 밝은 곳에서도 볼 수 있다. 6∼12μm 두께의 액체결정은 뜯을 수 있는 음극선관 위에 와이어-모자의 훼이스 프레이트를 사용하는 전자속으로 실시간에 번지선택된다. 두가지 종류의 액체결정물질-Anasyliden Para-Amino Phenyl Acetate(APAPA)와 RCA 특유의 실온액체결정-을 시험했는데 동작온도(APAPA는 82°∼110℃이고 다른 것은 실온)를 제외하고는 비슷한 결과가 나왔다. 사방 3.1cm의 디스푸레이에서는 해상도가 적용 텔레비젼에 필요한 150line 보다 약간 떨여졌는데 그 원인은 액정결정 때문이 아니고 모자익의 구조에 의한 제한 때문이다. 더 나은 해상도를 얻으려면 디스푸레이를 좀더 크게하면 된다. 콘트라스트는 최적화(7.5:1)하지 않았다. 그러나 이 값을 정적인 디스푸레이에서 본 바와 같이 15∼20대 1로 개선하기 위해서는 몇가지의 기술을 사용할 수 있다. 이 디스푸레이 방법의 매력으로는 적당한 외부조명하에서는 약 ±45°의 넓은 관람각을 갖는데 있다고 하겠다. 액체결정내에서 DSM이 일어나도록 하는데 필요한 전류, 전압치들을 보면 평평한 텔레비젼 화면에 적합한 완전한 번지선택법에의 근사방법이 발견될 수 있으리라는 희망을 갖일 수 있다.

We have studied a single gap transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) associated with in-plane switching (IPS) mode. In the transmissive IPS cell, the transmittance of electrodes and above electrodes is different, that is, the degree of rotation of the LC director between electrodes and above electrodes is 45 $^{\circ}$ and 22.5 $^{\circ}$ , respectively. Utilizing the different rotating angle of the LC director and in-cell retarder with a quarter-wave plate used below the LC layer, the IPS transflective LCD is realized such that the area between electrodes is used as a transmissive part and the area above electrodes is used as a reflective part.

We have demonstrated a transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) with a single cell gap in a patterned vertically aligned mode. In our configuration, the different electrode structure in a transmissive and a reflective part was suggested to compensate an optical path difference of each region. As the result, the similar electro-optic characteristic of each region was obtained which results in an enhanced performance of the device. Moreover, suggested technique can be highly effective to realize the practical transflective LCD due to the simple fabrication process.

A new data line reduction driving method was developed for high pixel density LCoS microdisplays. Its pixel structures and its corresponding gate line waveform were proposed, too. This idea can fulfill the increasing demand for higher resolution LCoS. In this method, no additional AC power is dissipated, and no more horizontal line time is needed. So this method can be applied to the high resolution microdisplay devices. It prefers being applied to the reflective liquid crystal on silicon microdisplays because of the pixel structure asymmetry and PMOS transistor switches used.

Cell gap은 LCD(Liquid Crystal Display)의 중요한 파라미터들 중의 하나이다. cell gap이 LCD의 광학적인 성능에 영향을 주기 때문에 정확한 cell gap 측정방법은 제조공정을 향상시키는데 중요하다 특히 최근 고속 영상 디스플레이를 제공할 수 있는 장점 때문에 낮은 cell gap의 LCD가 요구되고 있는 시장 추세에 따라 낮은 cell gap을 측정할 수 있는 기술이 요구되고 있다. LCD의 cell gap 측정 방법들 가운데 가장 보편화되어 있는 것으로 회전편광자법(rotating polarizer method)[1, 2]과 위상보상법(phase compensation method)[3,4]을 들 수 있는데 낮은 셀갭을 정확히 측정하기가 어려우며 주기적인 해가 발생한다는 단점이 있다. (중략)
