We have studied contrast ratio of a homogeneously aligned nematic liquid crystal (LC) display as a function of the angle between the polarizer axis and LC director. The results show that a cell configuration in which a polarizer axis facing a light source coincides with a short LC axis has a better process margin in terms of high contrast ratio than that of the cell coinciding with a long LC axis.

We demonstrate an intriguing liquid crystal display (LCD) mode that comprises an optically isotropic liquid crystal (LC) composite incorporating with inplane electric field geometry. No surface treatment, such as rubbing, is required to fabricate the LCD mode because it is based on an optically isotropic state. The measured response time was of submillisecond order. The LCD mode has several unique features such as fast response, continuous grayscale capability, and a high contrast ratio.

We proposed a single gap transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) using a vertically aligned (VA) liquid crystal cell and circular polarizer. The conventional VA transflective LCDs have problems that there required several compensation films and voltage-dependent transmittance and reflectance curves do not match each other. To solve these problems, we used circular polarizer and optimized the condition of insulator thickness in the transmissive part and reflective part. Also, we used the patterned vertical alignment (PVA) mode for wide viewing angle in transmissive part. Consequently, this device realized transflective LCD with a single cell gap and single gamma curve.

We demonstrate a high color gamut liquid crystal display (LCD) system (>100 %) by using a precompensated tri-chromatic LED-backlight module over a temperature range of (25 to $70^{\circ}C$), whose pre-compensated optical characteristic balances the spectral redshift and intensity decrease due to the temperature rising during operation.

본 논문에서는 최근 LCD소자에 있어서 큰 이슈로 등장한 표면 액정배향기술 및 광시야각 기술에 관하여 설명하였다. 표면 액정배향기술에 있어서는 종래의 러빙법에 대신하여 편광된 자외선을 조사하여 액정분자를 배열시키는 광배향제어법이 큰 기대를 모으고 있으며, 이 기술은 프리틸트 각 발생제어기술과 신뢰성이 과제로 남아있다. 광시야각 기술에 있어서는 최근까지 여러 방식이 제안되어왔으며 그 중에서도 현재로는 광학보상법, IPS방식 등이 실용화가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 향후 다른 방식의 기술발전 여부에 따라 상황이 변화될 것으로 예상된다. 각각의 방식에 따라 서로 장단점을 지니고 있어 향후 이용분야에 따라 용도를 나누어서 응용될 것으로 기대되어진다. LCD소자는 이러한 기술개발의 결과로 평판디스플레이 소자 중에서 더욱 확고한 위치를 확보할 것이며 더 많은 시장성을 점유할 것으로 전망된다. 이상으로 본 논문에서는 LCD소자의 표면액정 배향기술 및 광시야각 기술에 관하여 해설하였으며 표면액정 배향기술에 관하여는 간단히 소개하였으나 이 내용에 관하여는 다음 기회에 상세히 소개하기로 한다.

In this study, the advanced DuoPIGatron-type ion beam (IB) system was applied to inorganic thin film for aligning liquid crystal (LC). LC alignment on $Ta_2O_5$ via IB irradiation was embodied. As a result of IB irradiation, the homogeneously aligned liquid crystal display (LCD) on $Ta_2O_5$ was observed with low pretilt angles. The $Ta_2O_5$ were deposited on indium-tin-oxide coated Coming 1737 glass substrates by rf magnetron sputtering at $200^{\circ}C$. The deposition process resulted in forming very uniform thin film on glass substrates without any defects. To confirm the application of the inorganic alignment on modem display optical devices, we fabricated twisted nematic LCD and measured optical property and response time. As a result of the experiment, the electro optical characteristics of the LCD fabricated by using IB irradiation on $Ta_2O_5$ alignment layer were similar with the other LCD fabricated by using rubbing process.

As the physical properties of nematic liquid crystals vary with respect to temperature, the performances of liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are highly dependent on temperature. Additionally, it is well known that the electro-optic characteristics of LCDs, such as transmittance and threshold voltage, also rely on the LCD switching modes. The temperature dependence of the electro-optic characteristics of the wide-viewing-angle LCD modes, such as in-plane switching (IPS), multidomain vertical alignment by patterned electrode (PVA), and fringe-field switching (FFS), have been studied, and the results showed that the FFS mode has lower temperature dependence compared to the IPS and PVA modes. Since the liquid crystal (LC) reorients in different ways in each mode, this result is associated with the temperature dependence of LC's bend and twist elastic constants, and also with the position of the main reorientation, either in the middle or on the surface of the LC layer.

In order to improve the performance of LCD, chiral dopant is added to liquid crystal mixture. When we decide the rubbing direction, we must consider the rotation direction of liquid crystal molecules by chiral dopant. When the rotation direction of liquid crystal molecules caused by dielectric torque decided by rubbing direction and that decided by chiral dopant are coincided, the performance of LCD would be improved along to our initial cell design intentions.

Off-axis color shift in the dark state and gray scale inversion in an in-plane switching (IPS) liquid crystal display (LCD) device were investigated. Analyses were performed using the Poincar$\acute{e}$ sphere representation. The results show that color shift in the dark state and gray scale inversion in an IPS LCD can be reduced by using a biaxial film. We confirmed the extent of these improvements by measuring the optical performance of a fabricated IPS LCD.

We investigated response characteristics of liquid crystal display(LCD) with different operating mode of nematic liquid crystals (NLCs) such as $45^{\circ}$twist nematic (TN), $67.3^{\circ}$TN and ECB(electrical controlled birefringence) on a rubbed polyimide (PI) surface. The three kinds of LCD operating mode obtain stable EO performance. Low transmittances of the $45^{\circ}$TN and $67.3^{\circ}$TN cell on the rubbed PI surface were achieved by using low cell gap d. The fast response time of ECB cell among the three kinds of LCD operating mode was measured.
