Abstract

We suggest a viewing angle control mode of liquid crystal display(LCD) with additive thermal controllable optical layer [TCOL], which composed of homeotropically or homogenously well aligned LC layer and patterned hating lines on a substrate. In this system, LCD modes with wide viewing angle characteristics can be used as a main panel.
