Abstract
Recently, with use expansion of LCD application, the requirement of high
reliability for LCDs is more and more ncreasing. Since image sticking, one
of the reliability of LCDs, could be estimated by measuring the residual DC
voltage of LCDs RDC), we investigated the RDC by changing thickness of the
alignment layers and the electrode materials. We found hat the RDC value is
minimized at certain thickness of alignment layer (around 200A), and the
RDC is strongly influenced by the electrode under the alignment layer.
