Abstract

A novel geometric solution for uniform bend transition in a pi cell has proposed. In order to obtain the uniform bend transition, we applied hybrid domain structure to the edge of a LC cell by using ion-beam alignment method. As a result, we confirmed that the uniform bend transition has arisen from the edge to the center. From the proposed structure, we expect that the reliable and uniform bend transition can be achieved in the pi cell.
