초록

In this paper, the response surface modeling of the control of the pretilt angle in the nematic liquid crystal on the homogeneous polyimide surface with different surface treatment is investigated. The pretilt angle is one of the main factors to determine the alignment of the liquid crystal display. The pretilt angle is measured to analyze the variation of the characteristics on the various process conditions. The rubbing strength and the hard baking temperature are considered as input factors. After the design of experiments is performed, the process model is then explored using the response surface methodology. The analysis of variance is used to analyze the statistical significance and the effect plots are also investigated to examine the relationship between the process parameters and the response.
