초록

We studied the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) alignment capability by the Ultraviolet (UV) alignment method on a a-C:H thin -film , and investigated electro-optical performances of the UV aligned twisted nematic (TN)- liquid crystal display (LCD) with the UV exposure on a-C:H thin film surface. A good LC alignment by UV irradiation on a a-C:H thin -film surface was achieved. Monodomain alignment of the UV aligned TN-LCD can be observed. The good electro-optical (EO)characteristics of the UV aligned TN-LCD was observed with oblique UV exposure on the a-C:H thin film surface for 1min.
