This paper investgates the transflective liquid crystal displays (LCDs) associated with fringe-field switching (FFS) mode to achieve high image quality. In the past, several cell structures were used to fabricate transflective FFS LCDs. Their structures and characteristics are carefully examined to find their merits and demerits. In addition, we attempt to optimize cell parameters to achieve a single driving circuit.

We demonstrate a transflective liquid crystal display (LCD), doped with a chiral agent to produce a low helical twisting power, in a multimode configuration consisting of the homogeneous alignment and the hybrid alignment. The multimode transflective LCD with a single cell gap was fabricated using a single-step photoalignment technique with a self-masking process of an array of metal reflectors in the reflective region. In our configuration, the electro-optical disparity between the transmissive region and the reflective region was found to be significantly reduced by the low helical twisting power of the chiral dopant.

TVA (Twisted VA)모드를 이용하여 반사중심의 반투과형 LCD를 설계하였다. 일반적으로 VA 모드의 본질적인 특성에 의해서 발생하는 blue shift 문제를 분광보상필름을 사용하여 해결하였다. 시야각 특성과 명암대비비를 개선하기 위해서 FSF(Front Scattering Film)과 negative C-plate를 사용하였다. 제안된 반투과형 TVA 모드는 약 80:1의 명암대비비, 22ms의 response time과 표준 MgO 반사판 대비 약 25%의 반사율을 가진다.

본 논문에서는 반투과 반사판과 22.5$^{\circ}$의 in-plane tilt각을 가지며 λ/2로 설계된 반강유전성 액정 셀을 이용하여 새로운 형태의 반투과형 LCD모드의 구조를 제시하였다. 제안된 구조에서, 투과형 모드뿐만 아니라 광대역 λ/4 필름을 사용한 반사형 모드에서도 높은 밝기와 명암대비비를 구현해 낼 수 있었다.

We have proposed a novel optical design technique of light-guide plates(LGPs) which can able to improve the optical efficiency of transflective LCDs. The basic concepts of our design technique are that we make the groove-pattern of LGP pixels resemble the pixel-array-pattern of transflective LCDs in shape and size and make the surface of the groove scatter (front scattering). In simulated and measured results, we ensure that our design of LGP in backlight unit for transflective LCDs can improve the optical efficiency of LCDs.

We have designed a novel single cell gap transflective display associated with dual orientation of the liquid crystal. Owing to hybrid alignment in reflective part, the effective cell retardation value becomes half of cell retardation value in transmissive part where the LCs are homogeneously aligned. This study shows the possibility to manufacture the transflective display with a single gamma curve for reflective and transmissive region. The new device shows a high image quality with relatively easy fabrication.

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.

We have designed a single gap transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) driven by a fringe electric field, in which the +LC (${\Delta}{\varepsilon}$=7.4, rubbing angle= $80^{\circ}$) is homogeneously aligned in the initial state. This device is a problem that the voltage-dependent transmittance and reflectance curves do not match each other. Thus a dual driving circuit is required. This study shows that optimization of the rubbing angle in the transmissive and reflective regions solves this problem so that the transflective display with a single cell gap and single gamma curve for reflective and transmissive region is possible.

We have designed a single gap transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) driven by a fringe electric field, in which the LCs are homogeneously aligned in the initial state. In the reflective and transmissive areas, the degrees of the rotation of the LC director are $22.5^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$, respectively. Utilizing this mechanism and an in-cell retarder with a quarter-wave plate that is used below the LC layer, the transflective LCD using fringe-field switching (FFS) mode is realized.

We have developed 14.1" XGA transflective panel for both transmissive mode and reflective mode. We designed new panel structure, optimized optical films and adopted pixel with high aperture and high transmittance color filter. This can be applied for mobile tool and sub-note without regard to environment.
