LC aligning capabilities and the variation of pretilt angles with ion beam irradiation on the a-C:H thin films, and electro-optical (EO) performances of the ion beam aligned twisted nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) with oblique ion beam exposure on the a-C:H thin film were studied. A high pretilt angle of $3.5{^{\circ}}$ via ion beam irradiation on the a-C:H thin film was measured. Also, the LC pretilt angle decreased due to the increase in surface roughness at over 2 min of IB exposure time. It is considered that this roughness increase due to increasing IB exposure time that generated destroy of oriented rings of atoms related to LC alignment. An excellent voltage-transmittance (V-T) curve of the ion beam aligned TN-LCD was observed with oblique ion beam exposure on the a-C:H thin film for 1 min. Also, a faster response time for the ion beam aligned TN-LCD with oblique ion beam exposure on the a-C:H thin film for 1 min can be achieved. Finally, the residual DC property of the ion beam aligned TN-LCD with ion beam exposure of 1 min on the a-C:H thin film is almost same as that of the rubbing aligned TN-LCD on a PI surface.

We studied liquid crystal (LC) alignment with ion beam (IB) on polyimide and electro-optical characteristics of twisted nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) on the polyimide surface using obliquely ion beam (IB) exposure with new IB type equipment. A good uniform alignment of the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) alignment with the ion beam exposure on the polyimide surface was observed. In addition, it can be achieved the good EO properties of the ion-beam-aligned TN-LCD on polyimide surface. Also, the EO characteristics of the ion-beam-aligned TN-LCD on a polyimide (PI) surface with ion beam exposure using new type IB equipment is same or more superior than ion-beam-aligned TN-LCD on a polyimide (PI) surface with ion beam exposure using Kaufman-type Ar ion gun.

Electro-optical (EO) performances of the ion beam aligned twisted nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) with oblique ion beam exposure on the DLC thin film surface were studied. An excellent voltage-transmittance (VT) curve of the ion beam aligned TN-LCD was observed with oblique ion beam exposure on the DLC thin film surface for 1 min. Also, a faster response time for the ion beam aligned TN-LCD can be achieved with oblique ion beam exposure on the DLC thin film surface for 1 min can be achieved.

Fast response characteristics of twisted nematic liquid crystal display (TN-LCD) cell with different nematic liquid crystals (NLCs) and cell gap on a rubbed polyimide (PI) surface were studied. High transmittance and fast response time of the TN-LCD on the rubbed PI surface were achieved by using high birefringence ($\Delta$ n) and low cell gap. It is considered that the transmittance and response time of the TN-LCD on the rubbed PI surface decreased as $\Delta$ nd decrease.

In this paper, we have investigated the generation of pretilt angle for nematic liquid crystal (NLC) in a cell with oblique non-polarized ultraviolet(UV) light irradiation polyimide (PI) surface. It was found that the monodomain alignment of the NLC is obtained with an angle of incidence of 70∼85。 on PI surface. It is considered that the monodomain alignment of NLC is attributed to anisotropic of NLC is about 3。 with and angle of incidence of 70∼75。. Finally, we observed that the voltage-transmittance, response time, and voltage-holding-ratio(VHR) characteristics of photo-aligned twisted nematic(TN)-LCD with and angle of incidence of 85。 on PI surface were almost same compared to rubbing -treated TN-LCD.

Holographic diffuser(HD) layer was demonstrated to be located inside LC cell for a transmissive LCD of TFT-array on Color Filter structure. Master pattern of this layer was generated by holographic method and this pattern was replicated by the stamping of the master pattern on UV resin. Combined with a compensation film, TN-mode LCD with this layer showed improved viewing angle characteristics, especially along the up-down direction.

The electro-optical (EO) characteristics for the twisted-nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) photo-aligned with polarized UV exposure on various blending photopolymer surfaces were investigated. Excellent LC alignment and voltage-transmittance (V-T) characteristics for TN-LCD photo-aligned with polarized UV exposure of normal incidence on the blending Photopolymer (polyimide (PI) + PM4Ch (poly(4-methacryloyloxy chalcone))) surface containing chalcone group can be achieved. The EO performances of the TN-LCD photo-aligned on the blending photopolymer can be improved due to the photosensitivity by long side chain of the photopolymer.
