The electro-optic properties of an active-matrix polymer network liquid crystal display (AM-PNLCD) with crossed polarizer films to improve its contrast ratio were evaluated. By using crossed polarizer films, it shows good contrast ratio as well as wide viewing angle and adequate response time at normal TFT-twisted nematic (TN) LCD driving voltage (2.8V).

EL (Electro-Luminescence)란 전계발광소자로서 반도체, 주로 형광체에 전계를 인가할 때 아무런 열 발생 없이 발광하는 현상을 말한다. EL 발광현상은 형광물질에 고전기 장이 인가되었을 때, 고전기장에 의해 전자를 가속되고 가속된 전자가 발광중심이라 불리는 Light-emitting Center의 전자를 충돌 여기 시키고 이렇게 여기 된 전자가 다시 바닥상태로 완화될 때, 빛이 발생하는 현상을 일컫는다. 이러한 효과를 이용하여 여러 가지 디바이스에 응용이 되고 있고, 특히 TN, STN LCD의 백라이트로서 각광을 받았으나, 휴대폰 LCD의 컬러화로 인해 그 수요가 급격히 감소하였으나, 현재는 휴대폰의 키패드의 백 라이트로서 LED와 경쟁을 하고 있다. EL만이 가지는 여러 가지 장점으로 인해 광고용 등에 특히 많이 응용이 되고 있다. 또한 캐나다의 iFire사(社)와 같은 회사에서는 무기 EL을 이용하여 디스플레이로서도 활용을 하고 있어 그 응용 가능성이 매우 크다.

Three ring type LC compounds substituted with isothiocyanato group and fluoro atoms in phenyl ring were synthesized, and blended with KL-series LC mixtures for TV application of TN and IPS-mode. Clearing temperature of new LC mixtures are shown $10{\sim}35{\square}$ higher than commercial mixtures. And response time was also improved $10{\sim}20%$ faster than conventional LC mixtures.

We demonstrate the wide-viewing characteristics of a twisted nematic liquid crystal display (LCD) with self-formed micro-domains through the topographical alignment and fringe field effects of dielectric surface gratings (DSG). The mutual optical compensation between micro-domains within each pixel eliminates the contrast inversion phenomenon of TN mode without complex surface treatments.

In this paper, we demonstrated the orientation characteristics of liquid crystals using UV-treated FSAM as alignment layer. Moreover we confirmed the FSAM properties before and after UV treatment on indium tin oxide (ITO) glass substrates using physicochemical analysis. The hydrophobic property of the FSAM surface is change to hydrophilic through UV treatment. After UV treatment the LC molecules also were uniformly and horizontally aligned on the FSAM surfaces and the pretilt angle was obviously changed 90° degrees to 0° degrees. EO characteristic of TN cell which was fabricated with UV-treated FSAM was faster response time compare to conventional PI layer. The FSAM before and after UV treatment has a superior application potential as the LC alignment layer for LCD, potentially replacing the conventional polyimide layer.

The quality of images displayed by using an LC projector is strongly influenced by the cell-gap variations over LC panels, the essential components of the projector. We show that such influence can be relieved by introducing slit patterns in the pixel electrodes in the LC panels. The improvement comes from the compensation of the influence of cell-gap variations by optical anisotropy variations arising from the lateral components of the electric field generated by the slit patterned electrodes. Simulations show that cell-gap tolerance can be increased by more than 50% by introducing the slit patterns. This method can be used in TN mode LC panels, which use LC's with positive dielectric anisotropy. tropy.

We used Brewster's Law to examine the mechanism of liquid crystal (LC) alignment on an organic insulation layer when subjected to ion-beam irradiation. Brewster's Law implies that the maximum rate polarized ray on a slanted insulation layers on the substrate and it illustrates the dependence of polarization and themechanical structure on the ion beam irradiation process. The pretilt angle of nematic LCs on the organic insulation surface was about $1.13^{\circ}$ for an ion beam exposure of $45^{\circ}$ for 1 minute at 1800eV. This shows the dependence of LC alignment on the polarization ratio in a slanted organic insulation layer.

Due to the stricter requests of the human perception of images, many industrial standards such as TCO'03 have been made to survey the Flat Panel Displays (FPD) nowadays. The angular-dependence luminance uniformity is an important item to evaluate the performance of FPD. In this article, we focus on the above test item base on TCO'03 standard in the case of vertical direction of ${\pm}15^{\circ}$. With controlling the driving voltage toward the liquid crystals of TN-type TFT-LCD, there exists a voltage-driving range which can achieve the value of the $L_{max}/L_{min}$ at ${\pm}15^{\circ}\;{\leq}1.7$ readily. Both experiment and simulation have been well analysis.

The pi-cell [1] is known as one of the candidates for a fast response time and a good viewing angle characteristics due to a self-compensated configuration and can be a replaceable mode instead of the current TN mode and the IPS mode for moving picture in future. This paper shows the optimized condition to maintain bend state instead of splay state, which is mortal demerit for good optical properties in a pi-cell, by using the polymer stabilized method [2]. The good electro-optical characteristics are also obtained by optimizing the various factors, which are monomer concentration in a LC, UV intensity, curing time, curing voltage, and curing temperature, and by using retardation film. We use a scanning electron microscope to study the structures of the polymer stabilized polymer network in a pi-cell as a key to figure out why bend state is occurred.

In this paper, the monodomain alignment of nematic liquid crystal(NLC) in the cell fabricated by one side transcription alignment method on PI surface with side chain were investigated. The LC alignment produced by the transcription alignment method is attributable to a memory effect of the NLC on Pl surfaces. We observed that the pretilt angle of NLC is generated about 3.6$^{\circ}$ in a cell with one side transcription alignment on PI surface. Also, the electro-optical(EO) performance of TN-LCD with one side transcription alignment method on PI surface will be discussed.
