Abstract

The alignment of liquid crystal (LC) is one of the key issues of liquid crystal display (LCD) technologies. In this study, we aligned polyimide (as the LC alignment layer) by ALT plasma beam and to realize the stability and characteristics of this technology. The characteristics such as anchoring energy, pre-tilt angle, voltage holding ratio(VHR) and residual direct current(Rdc) were discussed. Besides, we applied it to the in plane switch (IPS) mode 23" WXGA real panel, the performance parameters and electrical properties were measured and compared with those of rubbing alignment. From the result, we demonstrated a successful LC alignment treatment process in real panel by ALT plasma beam.
