The electronic components in mobile device are composed of electronic chips and various other materials. These components become extremely thin and the constituent materials have different coefficient of thermal expansion, so that considerable warpages occurs easily due to temperature change or external load. Shadow $moir{\acute{e}}$ is non-contact, whole field technique for measuring out-of-plane displacement, but the measurement sensitivity is not less than $50{\mu}m/fringe$, which is not suitable for measuring the warpage of the electronic components. In this paper, we implemented a measurement method with enhanced sensitivity of $25{\mu}m/fringe$ by investigating and optimizing various experimental conditions of the shadow $moir{\acute{e}}$. In addition, four $moir{\acute{e}}$ fringe patterns recorded by the phase shift are processes to obtain a $moir{\acute{e}}$ fringe patterns with a sensitivity four times higher. The measurement technique is applied to small electronic components of a smart phone for measuring warpage with a high sensitivity of $5{\mu}m/fringe$ at room temperature and at the temperature of $100^{\circ}C$.

We propose a cell structure for the fast switching of liquid crystals by the fringe field. By forming protrusion between patterned electrodes, we can obtain enhancement of response time. The protrusion reduces the effective cell gap, with which a fast response time can be realized. There is little decrease in the transmittance because the protrusion is located between patterned electrodes. We confirmed that the total response time can be decreased by 33% with little loss of the transmittance by optimizing the shape of the protrusion structure.

We have studied electro-optic characteristics as a function of passivation thickness existing between common electrode and pixel electrodes in the fringe-field switching (FFS) mode using the LC with positive dielectric anisotropy. A steep increase in the transmission is observed with increase in the passivation layer from $0.29{\mu}m$ to $1.09{\mu}m$ and thereafter it almost saturates over the $1.09{\mu}m$ of passivation layer. This saturation is mainly associated with correlation between transmittance at the center region of pixel electrode and at the center region between pixel electrodes. From the results, optimal thickness of passivation layer can be defined.

투과형 광 시야각 모드의 하나인 Fringe Field Switching (FFS) mode를 반사형 액정 디스플레이소자로 응용하여 전기 광학적 특성을 컴퓨터 시늉 하였다. FFS mode는 액정이 수평으로 균일하게 유지되면서 구동하므로, 시야각에 따른 굴절률 변화 역시 균일하게 유지된다. 이러한 특성 때문에 반사형 FFS mode는 부가적인 위상필름을 쓰지 않고, 액정층과 편광판 1매 만으로도 일정한 수준의 반사형 디스플레이 특성을 얻을 수 있다. 컴퓨터 시늉을 통해 1매 편광판과 액정층, 반사판으로 구성된 Normally Black모드의 셀 구조를 취하고, 셀 간격을 일정하게 유지하면서 액정의 ${\Delta}n$을 변화시켜 특성을 구하는 방식으로 수행하여, 입사광의 파장이 550nm일때 최적의 셀 위상차값으로 $d{\Delta}n$인 $0.1365{\mu}m$를 얻었다. 입사광원을 $0^{\circ}C$로 하고 편광판 투과율이 41%였을 때 정면 반사율은 on시 33.6%, off시 0.14%로 명암대비가 233:1이었다. 특히 시야각은 극각 $60^{\circ}C$이내의 전 방향에서 명암 대비비가 5이상의 특성을 보였다.

In this paper, we investigate fringe-field switching (FFS) mode cell by the ion beam (IB) alignment method on the a-C:H thin film, to analyze electro-optical characteristics in this cell. We studied on the suitable inorganic thin film for fringe-field switching (FFS) cell and the aligning capabilities of nematic liquid crystal (NLC) using the new alignment material of a-C:H thin film An excellent voltage-transmittance (V-T) and response time curve of the IB-aligned FFS-LCD was observed with oblique IB exposure on the DLC thin films. Also, AC V-T hysteresis characteristics of the IB-aligned FFS-LCD with IB exposure on the DLC thin films is almost the same as that of the rubbing-aligned FFS cell on a polyimide (PI) surface.

In this paper, the electro-optical characteristics of carbon nano tubes (CNTs) doped liquid crystal (LC), in fringe-field switching cell have been investigated and compared with pure LC. The electro-optical characteristics of CNTs doped LC were found to be improved than that of pure LC. The CNTs doped LC exhibits faster response time and lower driving voltage than that of pure LC.

We have studied the fringe field switching (FFS) mode with the positive dielectric anisotropy for the fast response time. The factors such as the physical properties of the LC, the cell gap, and the rubbing angle were critical for the fast response time of the FFS mode. The response time became 10 ms faster when the rotational viscosity of the new LC is 20 mPa.s lower than the conventional LC. When the cell gap changed from 3.6 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 3.0 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, it was possible to achieve the total response time and response times associated with grey-to-grey transitions under 16 ms. And the response times including grey-to-grey transitions become fast as the rubbing angle decreases.

The fringe-field switching (FFS) mode was known to exhibit both a wide viewing angle and high transmittance, especially when using the liquid crystal (LC) with negative dielectric anisotropy. In the device, the LC director rotates almost in-plane. However, in the bright state the device shows bluish and yellowish color along parallel and perpendicular to the LC director at off-normal directions since the LC director rotates only in one direction. Such a problem was greatly improved using a wedge shape of only pixel electrodes. In this way two different field directions exist in a pixel, enabling the LC director to rotate in two opposite directions. Consequently, owing to dual domain effect when using the LC with negative dielectric anisotropy, the viewing angle characteristics are greatly improved.

We demonstrated the pretilt angle effect on the viewing angle properties of a single-domain fringe-field switching (FFS) liquid crystal (LC) mode. By performing the Póincare sphere analysis, we investigated, in detail, the origin of the viewing angle asymmetry that exists in the single-domain FFS LC mode both in the field-on and field-off states. Using this analysis, we confirmed that the pretilt angle reduces the viewing angle symmetry in the single-domain FFS LC mode. Finally, we examined the effect of a zero pretilt angle on the viewing angle symmetry by evaluating real single-domain FFS LC cells.

The fringe field of magnetic thin-film head is calculated with the Boundary Element Method (BEM), and the effects of a permeable underlayer to the head field are studied. It is found that the BEM can be efficiently used for this complex problem consisting of three different permeable regions, and the permeable underlayer effectively reduces the length of magnetic flux path and increases the fringe field.
