We investigated the electro-optic characteristics of a fringe-field driven twisted nematic (TN) display using a LC with negative dielectric anisotropy depending on electrode structures. The fringe-field driven TN mode known to exhibit wide viewing angle and excellent color characteristics over a wide viewing range and high transmittance. However, when the electrode width and distance between them is large enough, the transmittance is lower than the conventional vertical field-driven TN mode. By narrowing the electrode width and distance, the transmittance reaches the same value of the conventional TN mode.

Fast response characteristics of twisted nematic liquid crystal display (TN-LCD) cell with different nematic liquid crystals (NLCs) and cell gap on a rubbed polyimide (PI) surface were studied. High transmittance and fast response time of the TN-LCD on the rubbed PI surface were achieved by using high birefringence ($\Delta$ n) and low cell gap. It is considered that the transmittance and response time of the TN-LCD on the rubbed PI surface decreased as $\Delta$ nd decrease.

본 논문에서는 IT(In-plane switching foisted nematic) 모드를 기반으로 광 투과 특성을 개선시킨 Pseudo-TN IPS(Pseudo-Twisted Nematic In-Plane Switching) 모드를 새롭게 제안하고 그 광 투과 특성을 분석하였다. PTN-IPS 모드의 경우 개구율을 향상시켜 투과율 면적을 향상시킴으로써 종래의 IT 모드보다 약 25%정도의 높은 광 투과 특성을 나타내었으며, 전압인가에 따른 광 투과율의 변화가 선형적이므로, 광 투과율 조절을 위한 액정의 제어가 IT 모드에 비해 용이함을 확인하였다. 또한, IT 모드에 비해 수평방향 대비비는 약 8%정도 특성이 열화 되었으나 수직 방향에 있어서는 약 20%이상의 특성개선을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이와 더불어, 기존 IT 모드가 가지고 있는 샐 갭에 대한 특성 및 장점을 가지고 있어, 차세대 액정 셀을 개발하는데 유용하게 사용될 것이라 생각된다.

본 논문에서는 광학적으로 비등방성인 폴리머를 이용하여 $90^{\circ}$ TN(Twisted Nematic) 액정셀의 응답시간을 향상시키는 방법을 제안하였다. 액정과 비등방성 폴리머를 일정 비율로 혼합하여 TN 액정셀에 주입한 뒤 UV를 조사하여 폴리머 네트워크를 형성시킴으로써 투과율에 영향을 주지 않고 응답시간을 향상시킬 수 있다. 폴리머 네트워크가 형성되지 않은 TN 액정셀의 turn-off 시간이 16 ms인데 반해 제안된 방법에서는 액정과 비등방성 폴리머의 혼합 비율이 3, 5, 10 wt%로 증가할 때 12, 11, 9 ms로 고속 turn-off가 구현될 수 있다. 또한, turn-off 동작 시 TN 액정셀에서 발생하였던 delay time과 backflow가 폴리머 네트워크의 형성에 의해 크게 개선됨을 확인하였다.

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.

We investigated response characteristics of twisted nematic (TN) cell with different nematic liquid crystals (NLCs) and cell gap d on a rubbed polyimide (PI) surface. High transmittance and fast response time of the TN cell on the rubbed PI surface were achieved by using high birefringence (${\Delta}n$) and low cell gap d. The transmittance and response time of the TN cell on the rubbed PI surface decreased with decreasing ${\Delta}nd$. The fast response time of TN cell using high birefringence with ${\Delta}nd=0.363$ on the rubbed PI surface was measured 5.1 ms.

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.

An inverse-twisted-nematic (ITN) transflective (TRF) liquid crystal (LC) display, where two imprinted optical films (IOFs) with surface microstructures are embedded was developed. One of the IOFs serves as an in-cell patterned retarder with multioptic axes, and the other behaves as a viewing-angle enhancement film. In the presence of an applied voltage, the surface microstructures on the IOFs provide the spontaneous twist of the LC from a vertically aligned state to a $90^{\circ}$ twisted-nematic (TN) state in the transmissive part, and to a $45^{\circ}$ TN state in the reflective part. The developed ITN TRF LC display exhibits high transmission and reflectance, fast response, and wide-viewing characteristics, along with achromaticity.

We coupled fluid balance equation and director balance equation from Ericksen-Leslie's continuum theory and observed the motion of Twisted Nematic (TN) Liquid Crystals. We simulated flow velocity distribution and director distribution. We interpreted the dynamic response characteristic caused by the flow. As the result of the simulation, We could see the flow effect. And this flow caused abnormal twist to 4msec in switching off state. We could prove that this abnormal twist is a direct cause of optical bounce phenomenon known well until now with the result of simulation.
