A New Transflective OCB-LCD with Fast Response Time and Wide Viewing Angle

Abstract

A new single-cell-gap transflective LCD using the OCB-mode LCD compensated with hybrid-aligned discotic liquid crystal films and C-plates was designed to improve the response time and viewing-angle performance of transflective displays. We verified that a wide viewing-angle exceeding 80 [degree ] (CR over 10:1) and high contrast ratio over 1000:1 could be achieved in both reflective and transmissive parts by using optimum design parameters of compensation film.
