Abstract

We fabricated an optically compensated bend cell with pixel-isolating polymer wall. The polymer wall was formed by phase separation of LCs and UVcurable polymer. The fabricated cell had initially ${\pi}-twist$ state. It showed low driving voltage, wide viewing angle and fast response properties. Also, polymer wall provided the mechanical stability preventing distortion of a display image from pressure.
