Abstract

In order to satisfy with the clear visibility without any difficulties such as blurring and tailing, the high refreshing rate technology and fast response time of LC itself were applied to TFT-LCDs. In proportion to the decrease of holding time of 1 frame, the fast transition of LC behavior was necessary to both maintain the luminance and minimize the tailing appearance. The introduction of a new LC mixture for faster response times was realized by the good combination of newly introduced dielectrically neutral LC material so called 'Super Low Viscosity' (SLV) and highly polar $CF_2O-linkage$ LC material. This resulted in about a 20% reduction in the ${\gamma}_1$ of the new LC mixture compared to the references. In accordance with a new LC mixture with low ${\gamma}_1$, fast response time of 5ms has been made for S-IPS LCD TV application. Consequently, by applying the high frame frequency of 120Hz driving alongside the 5ms response time characteristics, the MPRT value was reduced by half.
