PB42 Fabrication of Two-layered UV-curable Liquid Crystal Polymer Film using New Photo-Alignment Film

Abstract

An optical compensation method using stretched polymer films is now widely accepted for improving the image quality of LCDs. But the quality is not satisfactory to consumers, so that a new optical compensation method such as a pattered retarder is expected to be developed. In this study, we have reported buffer layer inserted between C-and A-plates composed of coatable UV-curable LC materials and the optical compensation of crossed polarizers using the film is also reported.
