Abstract
Hybrid-aligned nematic liquid crystal displays (HAN-LCDs) are known to have the device peformance of fast response speed and low driving voltage. In this paper, we have tried to improve the viewing angle characteristics of HAN-LCDs by using optical compensation films. The study is performed by doing computer simulation of the device. The result shows that the optical compensation films are useful to keep a wide viewing zone of the black level, and thus the good viewing angle characteristics is obtained.
