We have investigated that the monodomain alignment of nematic liquid crystal (NLC) is obtained with polarized ultraviolet(PUV) light irradiation on polyimide (PI) surface. The LC alignment capability increases with increasing the UV light irradiation time. The polarized UV light irradiation on oblique angle of 60。 irradiated on PI surface rotated by 90。 at 10 min. after being normally irradiated on PI surface at 30 min., the generated pretilt angle of NLC is about 2.5。. The pretilt angle of NLC is attributed to the interaction between the LC molecules and the asymmetric triangular structure of polymer surface due to photo-depolymerization of polymer with the oblique UV light on PI surface. The voltage -transmittance and response time characteristics of photo-aligned twisted nematic (TN)-LCD with UV light irradiation time 60 min. were almost same in comparison with the rubbing-treated TN-LCD.

In this paper, we investigated the monodomain alignment of nematic liquid crystal(NLC) in the cell fabricated by transcription alignment method on polyimide(PI) surface with side chain. The LC alignment produced by the transcription alignment method is attributed to a memory effect of the NLC on PI surfaces. We observed that the pretilt angle of NLC is generated about $3.7^{\circ}$ with transcription alignment on PI surface. Also, we obtained the good electro-optical(EO) performance of twisted nematic(TN)-liquid crystal display(LCD) by transcription alignment method on PI surface.

We investigated the EO performances of the UV aligned twisted nematic liquid crystal display (TN-LCD) with the UV exposure on a-C:H thin film surface. LC alignment using UV exposure on the a-C:H thin film surface was achieved. Monodomain alignment of the UV aligned TN-LCD can be observed. An good EO characteristics of the UV aligned TN-LCD was observed with oblique ion beam exposure on the a-C:H thin film surface. Therefore, the EO property of the UV-aligned TN-LCD with UV exposure on the a-C:H thin film surface is almost the same as that of the rubbing-aligned TN-LCD on a polyimide (PI) surface.

본 논문에서는 $90^{\circ}$ 꼬인 네마틱 액정 셀에 전계를 인가하지 않았을 때 어두운 상태를 나타내는 normally black 모드 구현 시, 높은 명암비를 제공하는 광학구조를 제안하였다. 제안된 구조에서 +A 필름과 ${\lambda}/2$ 필름을 각각 1 장씩 사용하여 $90^{\circ}$ 꼬인 액정층을 통과한 빛의 가시광 파장대에서 편광 상태가 거의 동일하게 만들어 줌으로써, 어두운 상태의 분광특성을 향상시킬 수 있다. PSD(Parameter Space Diagram) 방법을 사용하여 최적조건을 구해 계산한 결과 500: 1 이상의 높은 명암비를 확보할 수 있었으며, 어두운 상태뿐만 아니라 밝은 상태의 분광특성도 향상됨을 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통해 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 영상감시 장치에 액정 기반 편광 제어 기술을 결합하여 피사체에서 반사된 빛의 부분 선형 편광을 제거할 수 있는 편광 영상감치 장치 시스템을 제안한다. 빛의 편광 방향을 전기 광학적으로 변조하는 TN(Twisted Nematic) 액정을 사용하면 카메라 렌즈 앞에서 편광 필터를 기계적으로 회전할 필요가 없다. 이러한 기술을 사용하여 얻은 여러 편광 이미지는 컴퓨터 소프트웨어에 의해 이미지화된다. 또한 액정 패널은 사각형 형태로 생산되어 왔으나 대부분의 카메라 렌즈는 일반적으로 원형이고 렌즈 주변에 조명이나 기타 구동 장치가 설치되어 있어 원형 액정 패널을 적용하여 공간을 최적화하였다. 이 기술의 개발을 통해 전기적으로 전환 가능하고 공간에 최적화된 액정 편광 패널이 개발되었다.

The generation of pretilt in nematic liquid crystal(NLC)and electro-optical(EO) characteristics of photo-aligned twisted nematic (TN)-LCD with oblique p-polarized ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation on the two kinds of the soluble polyimide (PI) surfaces containing trifluoromethyl moieties were investigated. The generated pretilt angle of NLC is about $2.5^{\circ}$ with p-polarized UV light irradiation of $20^{\circ}$ on PI-3 surface at 20 min.; However pretilt angle of about $0.5^{\circ}$ are observed on PI-1 and PI-2 surfaces. The generated pretilt angle of NLC on PI-3 surface may be attributed to the trifluoromethyl moieties attached to the lateral benzene rings. The voltage-transmittance and response time characteristics of photo-aligned TN-LCD with p-polarized UV light irradiation of $20^{\circ}$ on PI-1 surfaceat at 20 min were almost same in comparison with the rubbing-aligned TN-LCD. However, the high threshold voltage and slow response are observed on PI-3 surface. Also, the decay time $\tau_d$ of photo-aligned TN-LCD is attributed to the anchoring energy of NLC.

We have investigated electro-optical characteristics in three kinds of twisted nematic (TN) cells on the polyimide surface. The threshold voltage and the response time of thermal stressed TN cells were same that of no thermal stressed TN cells. There were little change of value in these TN cells. On the other hand, transmittance of no thermal stressed TN cells were better than that of thermal stressed TN cells. Transmittances of TN cells on the polyimide surface decreased by increasing thermal stress time. Moreover, the residual DC of the thermal stressed TN cells increased as increasing thermal stress temperature and time. Therefore, thermal stability of TN cells were decreased gradually by giving high thermal stress for a long time.

To date, rubbing has been widely used to align LC molecules uniformly. Although rubbing can be simple, it has fundamental problems such as the generation of defects by dust and static electricity, and difficulty in achieving a uniform LC alignment on a large substrate. Therefore, noncontact alignment has been investigated. Ion beam induced alignment method, which provides controllability, nonstop process, and high resolution display. We investigated the high pretilt angle effects on electro-optical properties of ion beam (IB)-irradiated liquid crystal cells. on a blended polymer surface. High pretilt angle of liquid crystals IB-irradiated on a blended polymer surface including such as 5% and 10% of homeotropic polymer contents can' be achieved. The threshold voltages of IB-irradiated twisted nematic (TN) cells on a blended polymer surface decrease with increasing the pretilt angle. Also, the rising time of IB-irradiated TN cells decreases with increasing the pretilt angle. However the decay time of IB-irradiated TN cells increases with increasing the pretilt angle. Consequently, the electro-optical properties of IB-irradiated TN cells depend strongly on the pretilt angle in a blended polymer surface.
