Abstract

We have studied a liquid crystal (LC) mode, named locked super homeotropic (LSH), where the LCs aligned homeotropically are locked by surrounding walls such as cubic, hexagonal and cylinder. In the device, the vertically aligned LCs tilt down symmetrically around the center of the cell when a voltage is applied and thus it exhibits wide viewing angle. In addition, since the LCs is locked in micro domains the LCs do not flow to the bottom of the panel by gravity.
