UV Dichroism in Vertically Aligned Nematic Displays
نویسنده
چکیده
Vertically aligned negative nematics are employed in high-end projection applications, where extremely high light fluxes are employed. Under these conditions, the UV photochemical stability of the material becomes an issue that must be included in the characterization process of such devices. Photochemical aging tests for vertically aligned microdisplay, however, must take into account the linear dichroism shown by the liquid crystal material upon switching. In this work a method to evaluate UV linear dichroism is described. The method is included in a comparative study of the electrooptical performance of two negative nematic mixtures, one experimental and one commercial.

Measuring Thickness and Pretilt in Reflective Vertically Aligned Nematic Liquid Crystal Displays
Pretilt angle is a parameter of the utmost importance in the ultimate performance of vertically-aligned negative nematic LC displays. When these devices work in reflective mode, as is the LCOS microdisplays, accurate measurement of pretilt angles becomes a difficult problem, since usual experimental setups based on retardation of the polarization components of the impinging light are proportion...

Jae-Hong Park Yoonseuk Choi Tae-Young Yoon Chang-Jae Yu Sin-Doo Lee Abstract — We report on a new method of fabricating a vertically aligned multi-domain liquid-crystal display (LCD) using surface-relief gratings. A linear array of surface-relief gratings was produced by using a photosensitive polymer material coated on glass substrates by the illumination of the UV light through a photomask. T...

This paper presents an advanced patterned vertical aligned nematic liquid crystal (APVA) mode as a way of improving the transmittance of the conventional patterned, vertically-aligned nematic liquid crystal (PVA) mode. The APVA was characterized by multi-electrodes, which play an important role in generating a horizontal electric field that prevents LC disclination in the vicinity of the middle...
