Abstract

We have studied on response time of the fringe-field switching (FFS) TFT-LCD using the LCs with negative dielectric anisotropy related to rubbing angle. Simulation and experimental results shows that when a rubbing angle approached $45^{\circ}$, a slope of voltage-dependent curve is decreased such that the operation voltage is increased, however the whole response characteristic between inter-gray levels have a trend to be fast.
