Liquid crystal (LC) alignment using a photoalignment method by irradiation of polarized ultraviolet (UV) on an alignment layer has been investigated. Photoalignment method exhibits weaker anchoring energy than rubbing method so that we have studied electro-optic characteristics of fringe-field switching (FFS) mode with alignment layers using the photo and rubbing alignment methods. The cell using photo alignment layer shows lower threshold and operation voltage than those using rubbed alignment layer. Also, the former method shows higher transmittance than that of the latter.

In this paper, we analyzed the molecular behavior of IPS-LCDs and VA-LCDs by using numerical simulation. The numerical simulation was performed on the basis of Ericksen-Leslie continuum theory. To improve the accuracy of the calculation, we considered fluid balance equation and director balance equation at the same time. thus, we calculated the flow effect for both switching on and off states. As the results of simulation, we confirmed abnormal twist in IPS-LCDs and fast molecular behavior in VA-LCDs which could influence response time.

In this study, we propose a new pixel edge shape of the fringe field switching(FFS) mode which ensures more stable movement of liquid crystal molecules and higher transmittance at the edge part. the electro optical properties were calculated 3-dimensionally using by commercially available "Techwiz LCD". From the simulation results, we showed that the dynamic stability of liquid crystal molecules was obtained in a new pixel structure. We also revealed that the transmittance of the new pixel structure increased more than 6 % compared to that of the conventional pixel structure.

We investigated a solution-derived $Y_2O_3$ film treated by ion beam (IB) irradiation as a liquid crystal (LC) alignment layer. With IB irradiation, homogeneous LC alignment was achieved irrespective of the annealing temperature. To verify the effect of IB irradiation, we conducted surface analyses such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). As $Y_2O_3$ is a high-k material, the electro-optical properties of the twisted nematic (TN) cells were superior to those of conventional TN cells based on a rubbed polymer, with an LC rising time of 4.1ms and falling time of 2.9ms. The IB-irradiated $Y_2O_3$ is a good alternative as an alignment layer for fast-switching TN LC displays.

This paper proposes dynamic viewing-zone switching for a binocular holographic three-dimensional display with low interpupil crosstalk and an extended eye-motion box. The optimal pupil geometry for reducing interpupil crosstalk is designed. It is shown that the eye-motion box can be extended by exploiting signal replication in the higher-order viewing zone. Design principles and numerical simulations for verification of the binocular holographic head-up display are presented.

Increase of internet users and new type of applied traffic such as game, news, distributed computing, online image conference, and real time audio and video have leaded to demand for more bandwidth for each application. This algorithm represents a complex optical exchanger having typical wavelength switching function and time-slotted transmission function. Performance assessment of the proposed OXC (Optical Cross connect) sttucture defines LFS (Limit Frame Size) and VFS (Variable Frame Size) for classification by packet type and calculates the channel effect and loss probability depending the demanded bandwidth by access node increase. Optical exchanger in this type of structure can guarantee future network expansion as well as decrease of frame collision resulted from node increase.

Rapidly increasing Internet traffic demands require IP protocol based on high quality networking technology. Accordingy, our Internet has evolved from best-effort service toward differentiated service framework so as to implement QoS as prerequisite to a series of new applications. In addition, it is forecasted that existing transport network will be reorganized into DWDM-based optical Internet sooner or later under the influence of Internet demands for higher bandwidth based on QoS. This study shows a way to an effective implementation in some aspects: QoS implementation on DWDM-based optical Internet network, control protocol, backbone network architecture and switching technology for the Next Generation Internet (NGI).

A optical switch which on the LiNbO$_3$substrate is fabricated by using proton exchange method and self-alignet method. The annealing at 400[$^{\circ}C$] was carried out to control waveguide width and depth. A self-aligned method, which doesn\`t need the additional mask precesses, was applied to simplify the fabrication processes and to maximize efficiency of electric field application. The depths of the two annealed optical waveguides, which were measured by using ${\alpha}$-step, ware 1.435[K${\AA}$] and 1,380[K${\AA}$]. Using ${\alpha}$-step facility, we examined that the width of waveguides is increased from 5[$\mu\textrm{m}$] to 6.45[$\mu\textrm{m}$] and 6.3[$\mu\textrm{m}$] due to the annealing effects. The process of proton exchange was done at 400[$^{\circ}C$] for 60[min] and annealing process was done at 400[$^{\circ}C$] for 60[min]. The high speed optical modulator has very good figures of merits: the measured voltage of the input waveguide power is 3.5[V], the voltage of the coupling waveguide power is 3.9[mV], and -29.5[dB] crosstalk and 8[V] switching voltage were achieved.

An electro-optic polymer digital optical switch was fabricated by using a photobleached waveguide and a self-aligned electrode. It features wavelength insensitive operation, fabrication tolerance and flexible design. And its possible advantages include low coupling losses to the fibers and wide bandwidths. For improving its switching performance, the guided mode profiles of the photobleached waveguides were controlled by photobleaching times to achieve optimized coupling in the branch. And the self-aligned electrode was employed to achieve both efficient overlap of the optical and electric fields and easy introduction of the adiabatically tapered electrodes. The measured crosstalks were better than -21dB at 1.32 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 1.55 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, and the extinction ratios of each output port were also more than 20 dB.
