The electro-optical (EO) performance in the vertical-alignment (VA) - 1/4$\pi$ cell photoaligned with polarized UV exposure on a homeotropic photopolymer surfaces was investigated. Excellent voltage-transmittance curve in the VA - 1/4$\pi$ cell photoaligned with polarized UV exposure for 3 min on the photopolymer containing cholesteryl group of 8% can be achieved. The V-T characteristics in the VA-1/4$\pi$ cell photoaligned on the photopolymer surface can be improved by increasing cholesteryl group. For response time measurement, the transmittance characteristics of the VA-1/4$\pi$ cell photopolymer surface was better than that of the VA-1/4$\pi$ cell rubbingaligned on a polyimide(PI) surface.

We propose a high-transmittance multi-domain vertical alignment liquid crystal device with a protrusion structure. Disclination lines, which inevitably appear at the boundaries of domains in a multi-domain structure, can be reduced by adding a protrusion structure on the top substrate. The transmittance was improved by 11% using the proposed structure with no change of either the dark state or the operating voltage.

We present a method that enables dual threshold voltages in a vertical alignment liquid crystal device, through which the gamma shift can be reduced with no subsequent decrease in the contrast ratio. By forming polymer layers, the threshold voltage shift is accomplished through the utilization of the voltage drop effect. We expect that the proposed method can be applied to the conventional 4-domain mode in order to achieve an 8-domain mode without the need for complex driving schemes.

We investigated vertical liquid crystal (LC) alignment effects of a self-assembled-monolayer (SAM) prepared on an anisotropic $SiO_2$ surface where the field-induced LC reorientation produced a uniform single domain texture. We compared the results with the homeotropic-to-random planar reorientation results shown in LCs aligned on a SAM surface prepared on an isotropic $SiO_2$ surface.

Patterned vertical alignment (PVA) mode requires multi-domain to exhibit wide viewing angle whereas the transmittance is sacrificed. To overcome the demerit, a fine pattern was formed at folded region in PVA Z-shape electrode structure. In the present work fine patterns were formed near domain boundary regions where the unwanted field direction which causes the LC to tilt down in unwanted direction exists. Thereby transmittance is improved near those fine patterns. This method is very simple and more cost-effective process than the other methods. In this article, we show the method of fine pattern formation and its influence on LC molecule in PVA mode with Z-shape electrode structure.

We have developed a novel vertical-alignment(VA) - 1/6$\pi$ mode that provides a wide viewing angle for nematic liquid crystal (NLC) with negative dielectric anisotropy on a homeotropic polyimide (PI) surfaces. Good voltage-transmittance curves were achieved with the new VA - 1/6$\pi$ cell model without a negative compensation film. The viewing angle of a new VA -1/6$\pi$ cell without a negative compensation film was wider than that of a conventional VA cell. Finally, the wide viewing angle using the new VA-1/6$\pi$ cell mode can be achieved.

We investigated the liquid crystal (LC) aligning capabilities and electrooptical characteristics of semi-transparent silver paste electrodes substituting indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes. Experimental results show that a uniform vertical LC alignment and a large pretilt angle were achieved using the semi-transparent silver paste. The vertical alignment mode based on the semi-transparent silver paste electrodes showed appropriate electro-optical characteristics and a high transparency in comparison with that based on the ITO electrodes. These results indicate that the semi-transparent silver paste electrodes of liquid crystal displays could substitute the ITO electrodes.

90년대 초 LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)는 연관된 반도체 산업과 함께 제2산업의 쌀로 불리며 정부와 관련업계의 높은 관심 속에 큰 성장을 이루었다. 삼성은 일본 기업에 비해 LCD 개발을 늦게 시작했지만 패널 대형화와 넓은 광시야각을 구현한 PVA (Patterned Vertical Alignment) 모드 (mode)를 실현하고, 여기에 더하여 측면 시인성 문제까지 해결한 공정이 단순하며 높은 대비비를 구현하는 SPVA (Super Patterned Vertical Alignment) 및 PSVA (Polymer-Stabilized Vertical Alignment) 모드를 개발하였다. 이와 동시에 새로운 액정 주입 방식인 ODF (One Drop Filling) 기술을 최초로 양산에 접목함으로써 LCD 산업에서 경쟁사들이 따라올 수 없는 훨씬 앞선 제1 주자가 되었다. 이 보고서는 삼성이 SPVA와 PSVA 모드를 역경 속에서 타사들과 어떻게 경쟁하며 발전시켜 왔는가에 대한 내용과 ODF 기술에 대해 삼성의 고유 자산권을 침해하지 않는 범위 내에서 서술하고자 한다. ※ 대비비: 화면의 백색상태 (white state)와 암흑 상태 (black state)의 광비 (光比)

본 논문에서는 관성 항법 시스템 (INS)의 경우, 수직편향 (DOV)으로 인한 초기정렬에서의 자세 추정 오차를 분석한다. INS의 속도 및 자세 오차를 기반으로 DOV로 인한 자세 추정 오차를 이론적으로 분석하였다. 이론적 분석을 검증하기 위한 시뮬레이션을 수행했으며 결과는 이론적 분석과 잘 일치했다. 일례로 η=20"일 경우 정렬오차는 ϕ_N=0.00287°, ϕ_U=0.00196°가발생하며, 𝜉=20"일 경우에는 ϕ_E= -0.00286°의 오차가 발생하였다. 이를 통해 INS 자세오차의 결합특성으로 DOV에 기인한 수직 자세오차가 발생함을 확인하였다. 기존의 INS 정렬에서는 고려하지 않았던 DOV로 인해 추가로 자세오차가 발생할 수 있음을 보여 주었으며 이는 고정밀 INS 적용시에 DOV에 대한 보정을 반드시 고려해야 함을 의미한다.

In this paper, we investigated the feasibility of applying ZnO:Al films to display devices as transparent electrodes, and reported the electro-optical (EO) characteristics of VA cells using ZnO:Al electrodes and compared them with those of VA cells using ITO electrodes. The experiment results show that a uniform vertical LC alignment and a large pretilt angle were achieved. Also, the good voltage-transmittance curve, response time, and capacitance-voltage characteristics were observed for the rubbing aligned VA-LCD using ZnO:Al electrodes m comparison with ITO electrodes. In other words, the vertical alignment mode based on the ZnO:Al electrodes showed appropriate electro-optical characteristics and high transparency in comparison with that based on the ITO electrodes. These results indicated that the transparent ZnO:Al electrodes of the liquid crystal displays could substitute the ITO electrodes.
