  • We demonstrated the pretilt angle effect on the viewing angle properties of a single-domain fringe-field switching (FFS) liquid crystal (LC) mode. By performing the Póincare sphere analysis, we investigated, in detail, the origin of the viewing angle asymmetry that exists in the single-domain FFS LC mode both in the field-on and field-off states. Using this analysis, we confirmed that the pretilt angle reduces the viewing angle symmetry in the single-domain FFS LC mode. Finally, we examined the effect of a zero pretilt angle on the viewing angle symmetry by evaluating real single-domain FFS LC cells.

  • We demonstrated the capillary force lithography (CFL) method for controlling the azimuthal anchoring energy of a liquid crystal (LC) alignment layer. When a thermoplastic polymer film is heated to over the glass transition temperature, the melted polymer is filled into the mold structure by the capillary action and the aspect ratio of the pattern is determined by the dewetting time of the CFL process. Here, the proposed method showed that the azimuthal anchoring energy of the LC alignment layer could be simply controlled by the surface relief patterns which were determined by the dewetting times during the CFL patterning.

  • A tristate liquid crystal display characterized by two distinct dark states and one bright state has been presented. These two dark states contribute to two different viewing angles. We demonstrate a single panel of vertically aligned cell whose viewing angles can be directly selected from two sets of driving voltage.

  • Here we report a nano-sized polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (NPDLC) with an excellent scattering effect due to the maximized Mie scattering. We used a modified emulsification method combined with a limited coalescence mechanism. The fabrication process is simpler to obtain uniform nano-sized droplets rather than the conventional polymerizationinduced phase separation method.

  • Surface driven switching of the liquid crystal bulk arising from the coupling between an applied electric field and a polarized state of a nematic liquid crystal, both localized at the substrate surface, is reported. Fast switching is demonstrated in a hybrid aligned nematic cell with a fringe electric field generated by comb-like electrode structure.

  • A new concept of the microlens array is fabricated using a birefringent layer on the concave microlens array. The stacked layers of liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) and the UV epoxy focus an incident light due to the surface relief structure. The ferroelectric liquid crystal layer was added to control the focusing intensity with a fast switching time.

  • 정보전달 매체 중 시각을 통하여 우리에게 정보를 제공해 주는 디스플레이는 직관적으로 정보를 전달해 줌으로써 매우 중요한 정보전달 수단이라고 할 수 있으며 액정표시장치는 디스플레이 중에서 가장 많이 보급되어 있는 정보전달기기라고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 액정디스플레이 제작을 위하여 필수적인 러빙 기반 액정 배향 공정을 대체할 수 있는 공정으로서 solvent assisted micromolding을 연구하였으며 가장 일반적인 액정 배향막인 polyimide에 나노구조를 형성함으로써 균일하게 액정 배향을 달성하고자 하였다. Polyimide 나노구조 형성 시 공정 온도에 따라 용매에 의한 고분자 용해효과와 몰드의 나노구조 안으로 polyimide 분자의 모세관 효과 사이의 상보적 상관관계가 존재하였으며 최적온도 도출을 통해 높은 단차를 갖는 나노구조를 형성할 수 있었다. 이러한 나노구조는 액정 분자를 균일하게 배향할 수 있었으며 일정한 선경사각을 형성할 수 있음을 증명하였다.

  • LC242와 같이 분자량이 큰 광반응성 액정 물질은 온도를 낮출 때 액정상에서 결정으로의 변화가 빠르지 못하여 액정분자를 재결정을 할 때는 충분한 시간이 필요하다. 액정 상태에서 분자의 배열 정도가 온도에 따라 영향받는 것을 알 수 있는데, 액정상의 LC242는 온도가 높아짐에 따라 액정 배열을 한 방향으로 계속 유지하고 있어도 온도에 따른 LC242 분자들의 움직임에 의하여 조금씩 배열이 달라져 복굴절의 변화를 가져오는 것을 알 수 있다. 광반응성 액정을 경화할 때 액정 상의 온도에서 광조사를 하면 고체상의 경우보다 반응 속도가 빠르고 경화도가 훨씬 많이 진행되는 것을 Photo-DSC 실험과 FTIR을 이용하여 정량적으로 분석하였다.

  • We studied the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) alignment capability with a new alignment method utilizing an inkjet printed polyimide (PI) layer. A good, uniform LC alignment was achieved by the good PI printing using a new alignment method. The pretilt angle generated on the printed PI layer using the alignment method was almost the same as that on printed PI layer using rubbing alignment method. In addition, the good electro-optical performances of the new aligned twisted nematic (TN) cell with printed PI surface was obtained
