A In-Plane-Switching(IPS) mode has wide viewing angle characteristics compared with Twisted-nematic (TN) mode, but slow response and low aperture ratio become problems. For the purpose of development of IPS mode TFT-LCD for large size and high resolution monitor use, we have clarified dependence of cell and liquid crystal material parameters on applied voltage and response. On the Basis of the result, we have determined cell and liquid crystal material parameters, by taking advantage of newly developed driving method with low applied voltage and cross-talk free image. A 15.2-in. diagonal wide IPS mode TFT-LCD with fast response equivalent to IN mode, has been fabricated.

An adhesive strength of the LCD sealant was measured using Double Cantilever Beam(DCB) test. It becomes clear that the degrease in the adhesive strength of UV curable sealant has been small compared to the strength of thermosetting one after 500hrs. of 60℃ 90%RH testing, though the initial strength is lower. The fracture of the UV curable sealant was cohesive failure, on the other hand, the thermosetting one was interfacial failure between resin and glass substrate. Furthermore, in the case of having an organic layer between the sealant and the glass substrate, UV curable on has kept the higher strength than the thermosetting one. It is concluded that the internal stress generated in the UV curable sealant is smaller than the one in the thermosetting sealant.

Quantitative measurement of anchoring strength of rubbing surface is quite important for research on physical properties of liquid crystal as well as its application, while they have been no suitable measurement method when the anchoring strength is high. Therefore, we propose a new method using phase transition droplet to evaluate the surface order parameter, which is relating to the surface anchoring. We have confirmed that this droplet method is useful to measure from strong to weak anchoring in the rubbed polymer surface. Also we have found that the surface anchoring increases according to the rubbing strength, and that no rubbing surface generally has certain value of surface order even though the azimuthal liquid crystal alignment is random, which means that the surface order in the polar distribution is relatively high.

Orientational adsorption behavior of liquid crystalline (LC) molecule onto a rubbed polymer surface was evaluated by measuring the optical retardation of the rubbed substrate dipped in a solution in which a liquid crystal was dissolved by organic solvent. The LC molecules were adsorbed in the direction parallel to the rubbing direction. The adsorbed molecules were not easily desorbed even if the substrate was rinsed by pure solvent. The adsorption of molecules of which intermolecular interaction was larger reached the equivalent state at lower concentration of solution. This result indicates that a selective adsorption should occur at an interface between LC mixture and a substrate, that is, there should be some difference in the constituent fraction of LC between interface and bulk.

The director distribution in nematic liquid crystal confined between two glass plates, with a weak and strong anchoring condition has been investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The quadrupolar splitting decreases with increasing electric field, through zero and then increases again to a value which is essentially half of that in zero electric field. It would seem that the director orientation changes more or less continuously from being parallel to the magnetic field to being orthogonal to it, as the electric field grows. The deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance spectra predicted by a continuum theory approach involving the magnetic, electric, elastic, and unified surface anchoring energies are found to be in good agreement with experiment.

It has difficult to form chevron layer structures without zigzag and line-like defects and produce a cell with sufficient ability to withstand external impact on the antiferroelectric liquid crystals (AFLCs). These two problems should be resolved at the same time. We made the rugged cell having many tunnels closed off except at the inlet and outlet, and developed the method of cooling them from one end to the other under a temperature gradient. The direction of layers bend is uniquely controlled by the direction of molecular movement due to bulk volume contraction, with decrease in temperature. Zigzag and line-like defects remarkably decreased.

This paper discusses the alignment process of cholesteric liquid crystal polymer (Ch-LCP) on alignment film. The alignment process was clarified by studying cross sections and surfaces of Ch-LCPs produced with different alignment process time using a transmission electron microscope differentialm interference microscope, and atomic force microscope. It was also determined that Ch-LCP's disclination which is generated during the initial stage of alignment process decreases with the length of alignment process time. Measurement of these Ch-LCP's reflection properties showed that mirror reflectance increases and diffuse reflectance decreases with the length of alignment process time, indicating a uniquely cholesteric selective reflection. The decreased diffuse reflectance is considered to be caused by reduction of disclination, and a correlation was obtained between reflection properties and degree of alignment as shown by the above mentioned microscopic photographs.

The frequency dependent dielectric behavior of a liquid crystal material (5CB) in a low frequency range is analyzed in terms of space charge polarization. In a condition that the electrostatic interaction among the ions can be neglected, the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss factor are considered to be given as the sum of a contribution from each ion kind if the dielectric contains plural kinds of ions. We evaluated the anomalous dielectric behaviors of 5CB due to the ions in a low frequency range separating the observed values into the contributions from plural kinds of ions. As the result it is found that the theoretically calculated curves can successfully trace the observed values by introducing four kinds of ions.

In this research, we report a method to realize grayscale operation of SSFLCDs by controlling the threshold voltage of the samples. The control of the threshold voltage is achieved by forming liquid crystalline polymer networks in a FLC cell using a UV curable liquid crystalline monomer. It is found that the threshold voltage of the samples decreased with increasing the concentration of the doped monomer. These results lndicate that, if the amount of the polymer network formed in a FLCD is saried from a region to a region in one pixel, we can get a quasi-multi-stable SSFLCD, resulting in the grayscale operation of the device by a passive matrix addressing.

The holographic PDLC, which required no color filter nor polarizer, and have shown that a promising novel color refractive LCD because of its high reflectivity and high color purity. It has a diffraction grating structure with alternating liquid crystal and polymer layers. We have simulated the optical property of HPDLC and have in the case of S-polarized light incident, a high reflectivity is expected, which in the case of P-polarized light incident, the reflectivity depends on relation between the angle of incidence and the direction of the multilayer. We have also estimated the optical property of HPDLC depending on our measurements of optical constants of LC and of polymer.

Polymer Cell Wall Type Liquid Crystal (PCW-LC) light shutter has been developed for liquid crystal polymer complexes (LCPCs), utilizing the light scattering of cholesteric focal conic texture. This type of liquid crystal light shutter is an energy saving type because of non-polarizer usage. When this type of light shutter is utilized for reflection type liquid crystal display, the saving of energy will be expected to become great. At first, a dot matrix type device of black and white display has been constructed.

A reflective light valve was fabricated to realize a small sized and high lumen output projector. Appropriate light valve size having high efficiency for scattering was derived by a calculation. Both pixel array and peripheral drivers were integrated by low temperature poly-Si TFTs on a glass substrate to get a 2 inches diagonal XGA light valve. An opaque organic film was used as a planarization layer and also as a light shield layer. High density screen image was obtained by 40μm pitch pixels.

We have proposed a compensation method for the offset voltage variation in the poly-Si TFT amplifiers for a LCLV (Liquid Crystal Light Valve), where the error data are stored in memories and added to the video signals. Good uniformity of the output voltages of the amplifiers has been obtained by this method. A good gray-scale image has been achieved by a 2.7-in. poly-Si TFT LCLV with the data-driver.

As for the liquid crystal display which has the advantage of thickness, light weight and low consumption electric power compact size, moreover, is expected. We grappled from the mounting side, and developed the COG method which ACF(Anisotropic Conductive Film) was used for, and it was put to practical use. Not only the subject of the usual TAB method was solved but also the compact LCD module that came to mention above was realized. And building of the production line that reduced switching loss to a minimum was made possible by the quality improvement such as indication characteristic and connection reliability, by the simplification of the liquid crystal panel inspection process and by standardization of the driving LSI, and so on. This paper describes device and process technology of the TFT-LCDs by the COG method adopted widely around for the AV machine.

In the fabrication process of TFT-LCD, the screen inspection before mounting of driving LSI is necessary for improving its productivity. A conventional screen inspection was carried out by temporarily connecting many probes to the corresponding electrodes on LCD panel. But this conventional method has some problem such as poor productivity by adjusting the position of the probes quite precisely, expensiveness by remaking the new probes for every LCD panel and maintaining the probes themselves. In this report, we will introduce the simplified screen inspection method which has resolved the above mentioned problems.

We have evaluated the driving method and the circuit construction for ultra low power consumption on reflective color STN-LCDs with a single polarizer. With respect to the driving method, we have found APT was more effective than IAPT which has the low voltage level in the row side for low power consumption. On the circuit construction, we have analyzed the power consumption in every circuit block. Then, we have developed the DC/DC converter, and optimized the power supply circuit. As a result, we have realized the ultra low power consumption driving of less than 100mW.

In recent years, commpact, portable OA and AV equipments have attract wide interest, and accordingly, blight, high-resolution reflective color LCDs without backlights are strongly required. As a reply to this requirement, a new reflective color STNLCD using ECB-effect with one polarizer and one retardation film, in which the reflector is placed inside the liquid crystal cell, is proposed. The electo-optical properties of the cell were numerically analized, and it was found from the results that several sets of solutions exist in order to obtain a blight multi-color image, but no such solutions were obtained without the use of a retardation film.
