Abstract

In this paper, we propose an optical configuration of a reflective AFLC display mode using a half-wave AFLC cell in which inplane tilt angle is $22.5^{\circ}C$. To check the validity of our design, we fabricate a reflective half-wave AFLC cell of which the in-plane tilt angle is $24.9^{\circ}C$, and measure viewing angle and visible spectra characteristics. In the results, the half-wave AFLC cell in the reflective configuration exhibits wide viewing-angle as well as high brightness and contrast. trast.

본논문에서는 반강유전성 액정의 in-plane tilt 각이 약 $22.5^{\circ}C$인 특성을 가진다는 것을 이용하여 액정의 위상지연을 $\lambda/2$로 설계한 광대역 $\lambda/4$필름을 사용한 단일 편광판 모드 반사형 LCD의 구조를 제안하였으며 이구조의 여러 가지 광특석을 전사모사 해보았다. 실제 실험에서는 in-plane tilt 각이 $\24.9\lambda$인 Chisso상의 CS-4001 반강유전성 액정을 사용하여 액정 셀의 위상지연을 $\lambda/2$로 설계하여 각도에 따른 반사특성과 파장에 따른 분광특성을 측정하였다.
