Abstract

We studied the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) alignment capability by the Ion beam (IB) alignment method on a NDLC (Nitrogen doped Diamond Like Carbon) as a C:H thin film, and investigated electro-optical (EO) performances of the IB aligned In plane switching (IPS) cell with NDLC surface. A good LC alignment by IB exposure on a NDLC surface was achieved. Monodomain alignment of the IB aligned IPS cell can be observed. The good electro-optical characteristics of the IB aligned IPS cell was observed with oblique IB exposure on the NDLC as a-C:H thin film for 1min.
