In this paper we propose a configuration for an optically compensated bend (OCB) mode using circular polarizers with wide-band wide-viewing-angle (WBWA) quarter-wave plates (QWPs). Parameters of LC material and compensation films are optimized for wide viewing angle characteristics and excellent spectral properties of the OCB mode.

In this paper, we have improved a novel high tilted optically compensated bend (OCB) (HTOCB) mode by using high tilt angle that was generated by the unique baking condition on the homeotropic alignment layer. The high tilt angle of liquid crystal (LC) was generated by new alignment process that tilt angle changed homeotropic state to homeogenous state using Hot-plate equipment; we obtained about $40\~50^{\circ}$ tilt angle with negative and positive dielectric anisotropy on the homeotropic polyimide (PI), and then LC tilt angle decreased as increasing baking temperature and time. At last, we obtained about $10^{\circ}$ with positive type NLC $({\Delta}n>0)$. Also, the LC tilt angle of positive type NLC $({\Delta}n>0)$ decreased as increasing rubbing strength at the same baking temperature and time. The novel LC operating mode (HTOCB) that used the high tilt angle by the new alignment method was improved. The response time of the novel HTOCB cell was faster than that of conventional OCB cell. We suggest that the developed the novel HTOCB cell using control of tilt angle on the homeotropic surface is a promising technique for the achievement of a fast response time and a high contrast ratio.

주변의 광원을 이용하는 단일 편광판 반사형 액정 표시장치는 전력 소모의 70%이상을 차지하는 배면조명이 필요 없으므로 가볍고 얇으며, 소비전력이 적고, 큰 반사효율을 얻을 수 있는 장점으로 인해 큰 주목을 받고 있다. 현재 단일 편광판 반사형 액정 표시장치는 reflective TN(RTN)$^{(1)}$ 과 mixed-mode TN(MTN)$^{(2)}$ 과 같은 TN액정 모드를 기본적으로 사용하고 있다. 하지만 TN액정 모드를 사용한 반사형 액정 표시장치는 좁은 시야각과 느린 응답 특성 등의 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 reflective-optically compensated bend(R-OCB)$^{(3)}$ 및 reflective homeotropic TN mode$^{(4)}$ , 반사형 BTN$^{(5)}$ 등을 이용한 반사형 액정 표시장치 등이 보고된 바 있다.

Parameters of a biaxial compensation film and a liquid crystal cell for the optically compensated bend mode LCD with wide viewing angle were optimized. For practical approach, we calculated the optical refractive indices of a retardation film when thickness of a retardation film was fixed at 50 ${\mu}m$. Furthermore, we also optimized optical parameters of LC cell when parameters of a retardation film were different with designed values, because the biaxial compensation film with exact designed values was very difficult to fabricate. In experiments, we achieved the wide viewing angle of over the ${\pm}$ 60 degrees by using a biaxial compensation film with a practical thickness value.

In this study, Liquid Crystal (LC) alignment and tilt angle generation in Nematic Liquid Crystal (NLC) with negative dielectric anisotropy on the homeotropic PI surface with new ion beam exposure are reported. Also. high density of ion beam energy (DuoPIGatron type Ar ion gun) is used in this study. The tilt angle of NLC on the homeotropic Polyimide (PI) surface for all incident angles is measured about 38 degree and this has a stabilization trend. And the good LC alignment of NLC on the PI surface with ion beam exposure of $45^{\circ}$ incident angle was observed. Also the tilt angle of NLC on the homeotropic PI surface with ion beam exposure of $45^{\circ}$ had a tendency to decrease as ion beam energy density increase. The tilt angle could be controlled from verticality to horizontality. Also, the LC aligning capabilities of NLC on the homeotropic PI surface according to ion beam energy has the goodness in case of more than 1500 eV. Finally. the superior LC alignment thermal stability on the homeotropic PI surface with ion beam exposure can be achieved. For OCB(Optically Compensated Bend) mode driving, we can need pretilt angles control for fast response time. In this study, We success pretilt angles control. Consequently, this result can be applied for OCB mode.
