We propose a vertical-alignment liquid crystal display with patterned electrodes using a positive dielectric anisotropic liquid crystal. In this structure, the threshold and on-state voltages are reduced compared with previous vertical-alignment configuration with positive liquid crystal.

A polymer-stabilized vertical alignment (PS-VA) mode with fishbone-shaped pixel electrode structure is mainly used in large-sized liquid crystal displays (LCDs) owing to its advantages such as wide viewing angle, good transmittance and fast response time. One drawback of this mode is a main bone electrode, which crosses in the center of a pixel. It causes the transmittance to decrease badly because LCs cannot be reoriented in this region, and thus, it is particularly unfavorable in an ultra-high-definition LCD. Here, we propose an innovative structure with the main bone electrode relocated to the edge area in a pixel, and investigate how this reverse directed fishbone-shaped pixel electrode structure affects electro-optic characteristics. The proposed structure shows enhanced electro-optic performance, such as the higher transmittance and the faster response time than the conventional VA mode with fishbone-shaped pixel electrode structure.

In this paper, the effect of electrical characteristics and electrode shape on the alignment and attachment of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) has been studied. The attraction and alignment of MWNTs between the gaps has been investigated by applying electric field which is called electrophoresis and dielectrophoresis. According to the frequency of electric field, positive or negative dielectrophoretic force can be determined. The concentration of MWNTs solution was $5\;{\mu}g/ml$, and a droplet of $1.0{\sim}1.5\;{\mu}l$ was dropped between two electrodes. Through the repeated experiments, the optimal electrical conditions for aligning and attaching MWNTs in the desired places were obtained. Since the frequency range of 100 kHz~10 MHz generated positive dielectrophoretic force, MWNTs were attracted and aligned between the gaps with this frequency range. For generating enough force to attract MWNTs, the appropriate voltage range was $0.3{\sim}1.3\;V_{rms}/{\mu}m$. Furthermore, the effect of electrode shape on the alignment of MWNTs was investigated. A single MWNT attachment was accomplished on the round shaped with 70% yield.

Physical properties of artificial graphite electrodes were evaluated along three different directions; circumferential (X), radial (Y), and axial (Z) directions. Four kinds of commercial electrode products were used in this study for the evaluation; pole (AP) and nipple (AN) of manufacturer A, pole (BP) and nipple (BN) of manufacturer B. The mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties in X and Y directions were very similar to each other. In Z direction, however, the mechanical properties, including flexural strength and compressive strength, were higher, and electric resistance and thermal expansion were much lower than those in the other directions. The microstructures observed by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope revealed that the differences in properties by the measuring direction were caused by the preferential alignment of needle cokes along the Z direction. When comparing the properties of the electrode samples in the same direction, the mechanical properties mainly depended on the bulk density or porosity of the samples as well as preferential alignment of needle cokes.

Self-alignment for the fabrication of printed thin film transistors has become of great interest because of the resolution and registration limits of printing technologies. In this work, self-patterning and selfregistration processes are introduced, which do not need surface energy patterning and the resulting minimum gate channel length could be down to $11.2{\mu}m$ with the sheet resistance of 2.6 ${\Omega}/{\square]$ for the source and drain electrodes.

내측 측두엽 간질(mesial temporal lobe epilepsy)의 침습적 검사는 심부전극(depth electrode)을 이용한 진단이 정확하여 임상에서 이용되고 있다. 심부전극 삽입은 occipito-temporal route를 이용하는 방법이 많이 이용되고 있다. 본원에서는 occipito-temporal 경로를 심부전극의 삽입부위를 수 작업으로 계산하여 MRI에서 확인하고, 시행하였다. 그러나 MR 영상에서 frame과 cutting line 사이에 정확하게 수평ㆍ수직이 일치하지 않음으로 오차가 발생하고, 수 작업으로 계산하면 많은 시간이 소요되는 문제가 있었다. 본 연구에서는 MRI 촬영 후 기하학적 오차의 보정으로 정확한 계산을 즉시 시행하여, 바로 시술을 시행할 수 있도록 프로그램을 개발하였고, 17명의 환자에 적용하여 이 프로그램의 임상유용성을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 PVA(Patterned Vertical Alignment)액정 셀의 광투과율 향상을 위한 새로운 전극 구조를 제안하였다. 제안한 전극 구조의 액정 디렉터의 분포 및 광투과율 계산은 상용 시뮬레이터인 'TechWiz LCD'를 사용하였다. 광 시야각을 위한 전극구조에 의해 투과율 감소를 발생시키는 부분에 대해 연구하여 그 부분의 액정 디렉터 분포를 변화시킬 수 있는 구조를 제안하였다. 그리고 기존 PVA모드와 제안한 구조를 사용한 PVA모드의 광투과율을 계산하여 비교하였다. 그 결과로부터 제안한 PVA액정 셀의 광투과율이 높아짐을 확인할 수 있었다.

We introduce a new electrode structure for the patterned vertical alignment (PVA) mode, which has a lower color-shift at large viewing angle than the one-domain VA mode. By manipulating the period of electrode structure, we can make more multi-domains and use the existing fabrication processes without having to use additional materials.

In the present work, a Ni-doped indium zinc oxide (NIZO) film and its multilayers with Ag layers were investigated as transparent conducting electrodes for liquid crystal display (LCD) applications, as a substitute for indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes. By interposing the Ag layer between the NIZO layers, the loss of the optical transmittance occurred; however, the Ag layer brought enhancement of electrical sheet resistance to the NIZO/Ag/NIZO multilayer electrode. The twisted nematic cell based on the NIZO/Ag/NIZO multilayer electrode exhibited superior electro-optical characteristics than those based on single NIZO electrode and was competitive compared to those based on the conventional ITO electrode. An LCD-based NIZO/Ag/NIZO multilayer electrode may allow new approaches to conventional ITO electrodes in display technology.

The conventional biased vertical alignment (BVA) mode has several advantages such as rubbing- and protrusion-free, wide-viewing angle and stable LC dynamics against external pressure. However manufacturing process of BVA mode is difficult task because the pixel and bias electrode signal are different in each frame. To solve this problem, we investigated the pattern free vertical alignment (PFVA) by using the UV-curable reactive mesogen (RM), in which the LC molecules were made to be pre-tilted. Eventually transmittance and response time in PFVA mode were found to be improved as compared to BVA mode.
