Alignment effects for nematic liquid crystal (NLC) using an in-situ photo-alignment method with obliquely polarized UV exposure on a polyirnide (PI) surface for homeotropic alignment were studied. The high pretilt angle in NLC can be measured by obliquely W exposure of $30^{\circ}$ on the PI surface for 10~20 min. The pretilt angle of NLC generated using the in-situ photo-alignment was higher than that of a conventional photo-alignment method.

We have investigated the generation of pretilt angle for a nematic liquid crystal (NLC) alignment with rubbing alignment method on polyimide surfaces using thin plastic substrates. It was found that monodomain alignment of NLC is obtained with rubbing alignment method on polyimide surfaces using thin plastic substrates. The NLC pretilt angles generated are about $3^{\circ}$ by the rubbing alignment method on thin plastic substrates, However, the pretilt angle are at about $1.7^{\circ}$ lower on the glass substrate than on thin plastic substrate. Also, EO characteristics of the TN-LCD with a rubbed PI surface based on polymer are almost the same as that of the TN-LCD with a rubbed PI surface based on glass. However, the transmittances of the TN-LCD with a rubbed PI surface based on polymer is less than that with a rubbed PI surface based on glass.

We have studied improvement of light leakage of twisted nematic liquid crystal display (TN-LCD) in dark state using the hybrid aligned compensation film made of rod-like LC. When the voltage is applied properly to the TN-LCD, the director tilts up but LC director on the substrate don't tilts up due to surface anchoring energy of the LC cell. Accordingly, LC director from surface to middle LC of TN -LCD become hybrid state such as hybrid aligned film. Consequently, in this paper we achieve wide viewing angle performances of TN mode using developed hybrid aligned film which especially decreases light leakage at vertical direction in dark state.

In this paper, the viewing angle characteristics of amorphous (a) - twisted nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) on poly(vinyl)cinnamate (PVC) surface with UV (ultraviolet) light irradiation were investigated. It was found that the threshold voltage increases with increasing the polymerization of PVC surfaces. We observed that the domain size of a-TN-LCD decreases with increasing the photo polymerization by increasing UV light irradiation time on PVC films. Also, we observed that the viewing angle of a-TN-LCD increased with increasing the photo polymerization on PVC surfaces. Finally, we consider that the viewing angle of a-TN-LCD on PVC surfaces is large compared to a-TN-LCD on polyimide (PI) surface.

We have fabricated twisted nematic (TN) cell doped by carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The CNTs with a minute amount of doping do not perturb the liquid crystal orientation in the off- and on-state. The hysteresis studies of voltage-dependent transmittance and capacitance under ac and dc electric field show that the amount of residual dc, which is related to image sticking problem in liquid crystal displays, is greatly reduced due to ion trapping by CNTs.

The dielectric properties and various pattern-forming states of dual-frequency material in a nematic phase, as well as its mixture containing low concentrations of reactive monomers, are reported. The dielectric relaxation behaviors of nematic MLC 2048 are presented and compared to its mixture containing both mesogenic and nonmesogenic reactive monomers. The sign-inversion frequency of the dielectric anisotropy was significantly shifted on the addition of small amounts of the reactive monomers. However, all three mixtures used in this study essentially exhibited the same field-induced instabilities at different frequencies and voltage domains of the applied electric field. A broad band of modulated states were found to exist above a critical voltage and within a voltage dependent frequency band in the vicinity of the sign-inversion frequency, $f_I$, of the dielectric anisotropy. As the $f_I$ of the mixtures shifted, so did the bands of the modulated state of the different mixtures and the temperatures, which were well matched with the measured $f_I$ value.

A series of dimesogenic compounds having two identical, terminal Schiff base type mesogens and a central polymethylene spacer were prepared and their properties were compared with those of the corresponding monomesogenic compounds. The mesomorphic properties of the compounds were studied by differential scanning calorimetry and on a hot-stage of a polarizing microscope. All of the dimesogenic compounds formed mesophases enantiotropically with the exception of pentamethylene-1,5-bis(4-oxybenzylidene 4-n-butylaniline). This compound was monotropic and formed only a nematic phase on heating the solid, whereas it formed nematic as well as smectic A phases on cooling the isotropic liquid. Those compounds containing longer (octamethylene and decamethylene) spacers favored the formation of nematic phase whereas those having shorter (dimethylene and tetramethylene) spacers formed smectic phases. In general, the variety of mesophase forms exhibited by the dimesogenic compounds was significantly less than that shown by the corresponding monomesogenic compounds.

We investigated a solution-derived $Y_2O_3$ film treated by ion beam (IB) irradiation as a liquid crystal (LC) alignment layer. With IB irradiation, homogeneous LC alignment was achieved irrespective of the annealing temperature. To verify the effect of IB irradiation, we conducted surface analyses such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). As $Y_2O_3$ is a high-k material, the electro-optical properties of the twisted nematic (TN) cells were superior to those of conventional TN cells based on a rubbed polymer, with an LC rising time of 4.1ms and falling time of 2.9ms. The IB-irradiated $Y_2O_3$ is a good alternative as an alignment layer for fast-switching TN LC displays.

Mutual miscibility between thermotropic, nematic compounds with two terminal mesogenic units and a central spacer was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and on a polarizing microscope. It was found that the isomorphous, nematic dimesogenic compounds with wide variety of structures are miscible in mesophases with each other over the whole range of composition and that Schroder-van Laar equation almost correctly predicts the melting temperature and composition of eutectic mixtures. There was a pair of compounds which were exceptional and did not form a eutectic mixture and, instead, revealed a monotonous change in melting (T$_{m}$) and isotropic transition temperatures (T$_{i}$) as the composition of the mixture was varied. The compounds were of almost same structure in shape and seemed to undergo formation of solid solution.

복합형 액정 고분자 동족체들인 트리-O-[4-{4'-(시아노페닐아조)페녹시}]알킬셀룰로오스들 (CACETn, n=2-10, 유연격자중의 메틸렌 단위들의 수)의 열방성 액정 거동을 검토하였다. n=5,7인 CACETn은 쌍방성 네마틱 상들을 형성하는 반면 다른 고분자들은 단방성 네마틱 상들을 형성하였다. 액체 상에서 네마틱 상으로의 전이온도($T_{iN}$)는 n이 4까지는 높아지나 n이 5이상에서는 n이 증가함에 따라 낮아졌다. $T_{iN}$에서의 엔트로피 변화도 n=6에서 재차 증가하기 전에 n=5에서 최소치를 나타냈다. n=5에서의 급격한 변화는 곁사슬 그룹들의 배열의 차이에 의해 초래되는 것으로 생각된다. $T_{iN}$들과 달리 네마틱 상에서 결정 상으로의 전이온도들은 현저한 홀수-짝수 효과를 나타냈다. 이러한 사실은 네마틱 상과 결정 상에서의 곁사슬 그룹들의 평균적인 형태가 판이함을 시사한다. CACETn의 액정 특성은 트리-O-알킬 셀룰로오스들 그리고 폴리[1-{4-(4'-시아노페닐아조)페녹시알킬옥시}에틸렌]들에 대해 보고된 결과와 현저히 달랐다. 이러한 결과들을 주사슬과 곁사슬의 화학구조 그리고 반복단위당의 mesogenic 단위들의 차이들의 견지에서 검토하였다.
