  • In this paper, we intend to make FFS mode cell with LC alignment used non-rubbing method, ion beam 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 FFS-LCD and the aligning capabilities of nematic liquid crystal (NLC) using the new alignment material of a-C:H thin film as working gas at rf bias condition. A high pretilt angle of about 5$^{\circ}$ by ion beam(IB) exposure on the a-C:H thin film surface was measured. An excellent voltage-transmittance (V-T) and response time curve of the ion-beam-aligned FFS-LCD was observed with oblique ion beam exposure on the DLC thin films.

  • The interaction between metal molecules and liquid metal molecules was modeled in the molecular scale and simulated by the molecular dynamics method in order to understand behaviors of the cluster on metallic surface in collision process. Lennard-Jones potential had been used as intermolecular potential, and only attraction 때 d repulsion had been used for the behavior of the cluster on the metal surface. As results, the behavior of the cluster was so much influenced by the cluster of liquid metal temperature and function of molecules forces, such as attraction and repulsion, in the collision progress. These results of simulation will be the foundation for the micro fabrication manufacturing by using spray application technology.

  • Herein, the integration of solution-processed polymer thin-film transistors (TFTs) that were fabricated using selective wettability through ultraviolet (UV) exposure into a reflective liquid crystal display is demonstrated. From the experimental results of energy-dispersive spectroscopy, the composition of carbon and fluorine enhancing the hydrophobicity in the polymer chains was found to play a critical role in the wetting selectivity upon UV exposure. The polymer TFTs fabricated through the wettability-patterning process exhibited long-term stability and reliability. This wetting-selectivity-based patterning technique will be useful for constructing different types of solution-processed electronic and optoelectronic devices.

  • Numerical simulation is performed for microdroplet deposition on a pre-patterned micro-structure. The level-set method for tracking the liquid-gas interface is extended to treat the immersed (or irregular-shaped) solid surface. The no-slip condition at the fluid-solid interface as well as the matching conditions at the liquid-gas interface is accurately imposed by incorporating the ghost fluid approach based on a sharp-interface representation. The method is further extended to treat the contact angle condition at an immersed solid surface. The present computation of a patterning process using microdroplet ejection demonstrates that the multiphase characteristics between the liquid-gas-solid phases can be used to improve the patterning accuracy.

  • An ultra-thin reflective flexible LCD film has been demonstrated. The 30% thickness of the display can be reduced by applying a quarter-wave-plate film as upper substrate. A low temperature alignment material and special designed photo spacer were applied in this new display. The bending behavior was improved by reduced thickness.

  • A steady-state analytical model was presented for a loop heat pipe (LHP) with an evaporator that has a flat geometry. On the basis of a series of reviews of the relevant literature, a sequence of calculations was proposed to predict the temperatures and pressures at each important part of the LHP: the evaporator, liquid reservoir (compensation chamber), liquid line, vapor line, and condenser. The analysis of the evaporator, which is the only part in the LHP that has a capillary structure, was emphasized. Thin-film theory is applied to account for the pressure and temperature in the region adjacent to the liquid-vapor interface in the evaporator. The present study introduced a unique method to estimate the liquid temperature at the interface. Relative freedom was assumed in the configuration of a condenser with a simplified liquid-vapor interface. Our steady-state model was validated by experimental results available in the literature. The relative error was within 3% on the absolute temperature scale, and reasonable agreement was obtained.

  • Carbon Nitride exhibits high electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity that are similar to the properties shown by diamond-like carbon (DLC) films. These diamond-like transport properties in Carbon Nitride come in a material consisting of $sp^2$-bonded carbon versus the $sp^3$-carbon of DLC. The diamond-like properties and nondiamond-like bonding make NDLC an attractive candidate for applications. Liquid crystal (LC) alignment capabilities with ion beam exposure on carbon nitride thin films and Electro-Optical (EO) performances of the ion-beam aligned twisted nematic liquid crystal display (TN-LCD) with oblique ion beam exposure on the Carbon Nitride thin film surface were studied. An excellent uniform alignment of the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) alignment with the ion beam exposure on the Carbon Nitride thin films was observed. In addition, the good EO properties of the ion-beam-aligned TN-LCD were achieved. Finally, we achieved the residual DC property of the ion-beam- aligned TN-LCD on the Carbon Nitride thin film.
