Abstract
The voltage holding ratio(VHR) and the residual DC property in the in-plane switching (IPS) cells on a polyimide surface was studied. Several IPS cells which have different concentrations of cyano liquid crystals (LCs) were fabricated. We found that the VHR of the IPS cell was decreased with increasing concentration of cyano LCs. Also, the VHR of the IPS cell was increased with increasing specific resistivity of fluorine LCs. The residual DC voltage of the IPS cell by capacitance-voltage (C-V) hysteresis method was decreased with increasing concentration of cyano LCs. The residual DC property of the IPS cell on the rubbed PI surface can be improved by high polarity of cyano LC.
