High-transmittance Multi-domain Vertical Alignment Liquid Crystal Device with Protrusion Structure
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a high-transmittance multi-domain vertical alignment liquid crystal device with a protrusion structure. Disclination lines, which inevitably appear at the boundaries of domains in a multi-domain structure, can be reduced by adding a protrusion structure on the top substrate. The transmittance was improved by 11% using the proposed structure with no change of either the dark state or the operating voltage.

Extraordinarily wide-view circular polarizers for liquid crystal displays.
A new broadband wide-view circular polarizer is proposed for high transmittance multi-domain vertical-alignment liquid crystal displays (MVA LCDs). This configuration only requires one biaxial plate in the conventional circular polarizer. The optimal film parameters are obtained analytically through spherical trigonometric method on the Poincaré sphere and through computer-aided parameter searc...
متن کامل6-2: Inverse Four Domain Twisted Nematic Liquid Crystal Mode for High Transmittance and Wide Viewing Angle Characteristics
In this paper, we fabricated the inverse four domain twisted nematic liquid crystal cell using stacked vertical alignment layer on planar alignment layer for strong azimuthal anchoring energy. That makes possible twist structures under applied voltage without chiral-dopant, as a result, high transmittance and wide viewing angle could be revealed.
متن کاملAdvanced Patterned Vertical Aligned Nematic Mode to Elevate Transmittance
This paper presents an advanced patterned vertical aligned nematic liquid crystal (APVA) mode as a way of improving the transmittance of the conventional patterned, vertically-aligned nematic liquid crystal (PVA) mode. The APVA was characterized by multi-electrodes, which play an important role in generating a horizontal electric field that prevents LC disclination in the vicinity of the middle...
متن کاملHigh Performance Negative Dielectric Anisotropy Liquid Crystals for Display Applications
We review recent progress in the development of high birefringence (Δn ≥ 0.12) negative dielectric anisotropy (Δε < 0) liquid crystals (LCs) for direct-view and projection displays. For mobile displays, our UCF-N2 (low viscosity, negative Δε, high Δn) based homogeneous alignment fringe-field switching (called n-FFS) mode exhibits superior performance to p-FFS in transmittance, single gamma curv...
متن کاملLiquid crystal alignment on zinc oxide nanowire arrays for LCDs applications.
The zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowire arrays on the indium tin oxide (ITO) glass substrates were fabricated by using the two-step hydrothermal method. A high transmittance ~92% of ZnO nanowire arrays on ITO substrate in the visible region was obtained. It was observed that the liquid crystal (LC) directors were aligned vertically to the (ZnO) nanowire arrays. The properties of ZnO nanowire arrays as ve...
