콜레스테릭 액정모노머를 이용하여 액정표시장치용 선택반사 칼라필터 원형을 개발하였다. 콜레스테릭 액정은 특정한 기판처리 조건에서 나선(helical twist) 구조를 갖는 액정으로서 피치와 비슷한 크기의 입사 파장을 반사시키는 독특한 선택반사의 광특성을 갖는다. 실험결과 R, G, B의 파장영역을 반사시키는 반구형으로 패턴된 콜레스테릭 반사 필름을 개발하여 그 반사파장의 피크 값을 살펴본 바, 시야각 방향 변화에 따라 적색, 녹색필름은 단파장쪽으로 반사파장 피크가 이동하였으며 청색의 경우 별다른 변화가 없었다. 포토리소그래피를 이용하여 포토레지스트(Photo-resist)를 thermal reflow방식으로 마이크로미터 크기의 반구형의 주기적인 패턴을 얻을 수 있었으며 그 위에 형성된 적색, 녹색, 청색의 필름은 패턴이 없는 경우에 비하여 시야각에 따른 반사파장의 변화가 적음을 육안을 통하여, 그리고 Lab좌표를 통해서 각각 정량적으로 확인할 수 있었다.

The optical performance of the reflective polarizer was investigated over three kinds of direct-lit backlights and/or different configurations of the optical sheets. The optical gain factor achieved by using the reflective polarizer increased as the diffuse nature of the optical sheet was enhanced, because of the more efficient polarization conversion. In addition, the gain factor decreased substantially in flat-lamp backlights compared to tubular-lamp backlights, which was ascribed to the high loss factor during the polarization recycling process due to the complex structure and large area of flat lamps. All these results suggested that reducing the loss factor of the backlight is very important for efficient polarization conversion and thus high optical gain of the reflective polarizer.

Characteristics of reflective LCDs, which have gained a lot of notice in recent years, rely largely on optical design of circular polarizers and the quarter-wave plates, as a component. Important design includes wavelength dispersion, viewing angle, uniformity of display and matching of refractive index. Our work has contributed to improving performance of reflective LCDs by enhancing the characteristics of polymer film using stretching and optical lamination technologies. To design that offers higher contrast and wider viewing angle, we have discovered that it is necessary to control viewing angle variation of the polarizing axis in order to compensate for the viewing angle of the polarizing film as well as the optical anisotropic properties of liquid crystal. Applying this technology to circular polarizers used for reflective LCDs enables design of wide viewing angle circular polarizers. In order to realize higher contrast for reflective LCDs, it is also necessary to design other optical materials including polarizing films. For design of hybrid optical film, it is particularly necessary to reduce surface reflection and interface reflection. This paper also reports our findings concerning this topic.

In this study, we report simulation results of single-panel LCOS (liquid crystal on silicon). Reflective LCOS microdisplays are widely used in various projection and near-eye application. For one panel system, liquid crystal response time is an important variable. The panel must switch fast enough to support the display of Field color sequential with high field rates. In order to have fast response and good contrast, a vertical alignment (VA) cell was used in this study. With suitable selection on LC parameters like temperature, viscosity, elastic constant and birefringence, it is possible to get response time of around 2ms from a 2.0 um-thick vertical alignment cell. This result also indicates an ease of production control on 2.0 um cells than 1.0 um cells.

본연구에서는 연속적으로 세기 분포를 갖는 CGH 패턴을 두 가지 서로 다른 방법으로 이진화를 하고 그 패턴을 LCSLM(liquid crystal spatial light modulator)에 적용하여 재생 특성을 비교해 보았다. 이진화 방법으로는 에러확산 알고리즘과 직접 얀자화 방법을 사용하였다. 재생 특성 비교에 사용한 인자들은 전체 밝기 평균, 평균 제곱 에러, 그리고 회절 효율이다. 실험에 사용한 LCSLM은 256$\times$256 점들을 가지고 87% fill factor와 15$\mu$m pixel pitch를 가지는 이진의 전기적으로 어드레스되는 반사형 강유전성 액정 공간 광 변조기이다.

We propose optical configurations of a double-cellgap liquid crystal cell for transflective displays with wide viewing angle and high contrast ratio. The reflective part is designed in the wide-band quarter wave structure to achieve good dark state. For the transmissive part, the compensation method is applied to achieve the super-achromatic dark state, and three switching methods are used : which are vertical switching, horizontal switching to $30^{\circ}$and horizontal switching to $120^{\circ}$, to achieve the bright state.

A replica-molding method of fabricating a dual-gap substrate for transflective liquid crystal (LC) displays is demonstrated. The dual-gap substrate provides homeotropic alignment for the LC molecules without any surface treatment and embedded bilevel microstructure on one of the two surfaces to maintain different cell gaps between the transmissive and reflective subpixels. The proposed transflective LC cell shows no electro-optic disparity between two subpixels and reduces the panel thickness and weight by 30% compared to the conventional transflective LC cell, which has two glass substrates.

The fringe electric field driven transflective liquid crystal display with dual orientation has a problem that the voltage-dependent transmittance and reflectance curves do not match each other, requiring a dual driving circuit to achieve a high electro-optic performance. Optimizations of the electrode structure in the array substrate and rubbing direction solve this problem so that the transflective display with a single gap and a single gamma curve for reflective and transmissive region is possible.

반사형 STN-LCD (supertwisted nematic liquid crystal display) 는 많은 display에서 사용되고 있는 LCD mode 중의 하나이다. 그러나 현재 많이 사용되는 반사형 STN-LCD는 그림 1과 같이 한 장의 polarizer와 두장의 retardation film을 사용하는 구조이므로 각각의 component에 대한 parameter들에 의해 display의 표시 성능이 좌우된다. 먼저 Reflective STN-LCD의 보상에 필요한 parameter를 살펴보면, 그림 1과 같이 5개 ( $\alpha$, ø$_1$, ø$_2$, 각 retarder의 retardation : Δnd$_1$, Δnd$_2$)의 parameter의 결정이 필요하다.
