Fast vertical alignment mode with continuous multi-domains for a liquid crystal display

Opt Express. 2009 Dec 21;17(26):23417-22. doi: 10.1364/OE.17.023417.

Abstract

We proposed a fast liquid crystal display (LCD) in a vertical alignment (VA) mode with continuous multi-domains for wide-viewing characteristics. The fast VA LCD was fabricated by the mixed vertical alignment layer with UV curable reactive mesogen (RM) polymer memorizing the switching directions of the LC molecules. The wide-viewing and fast response characteristics were obtained by axially symmetric switching directions and the memorization of them without any specific electrode patterns or surface structures.
