A Study on Electro-optical Characteristics of a-TN-LCD by Non-rubbing Liquid Crystal Alignment Techniques

넌러빙 액정배향기술을 이용한 a-TN-LCD의 전기광학특성에 관한 연구

In this study, we have investigated the characteristics of the response time and the viewing angle on twisted nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) and amorphous (a) TN-LCD without rubbing. To measure the transmission-voltage, response time, and viewing angle characteristics, we prepared three kinds of LC cells and then studied the surface liquid crystal alignment effect. We studied that the response time on a-TN-LCD is fast compared to the TN-LCD. We suggest that the weak anchoring strength is attributed to the fast response time on a-TN-LCD. Also, we obtained the uniform viewing angle characteristics on a-TN-LCD. From these results, we consider that the liquid crystal alignment on LCD device are very important factor for electro-optical characteristics.
