Abstract

The electro-optical characteristics of the In-Plane switching Twisted nematic (IT) mode were studied. The advantage of this mode is not only the wide viewing angle characteristics without adopting any compensation films, but also the wide cell gap error margin. The electro-optical characteristics of IT mode were evaluated by the experiments and computer simulation. In this paper, we studied the viewing angle characteristics, color-shift and response time.
