P-113: Ferroelectric LC Aligned on SiO2 Thin Films Using the Ion Beam Deposition and its Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The uniform alignment of Ferroelectric LCs (FLC) on inorganic thin film surfaces can be obtained using oblique ion beam sputtering deposition on substrates. Large deposition angle from 60o to 80 o can be used for thin SiO2 alignment layer, which thickness can vary from 5nm to 40 nm. Two types of uniform alignment of “chevron” (before electrical treatment) and “quazibookshelf” (after electrical treatment) were studied. The applications using this unique technology in low power consumption displays, fast switching color displays, future LCDTVs and fiber optics are discussed. High quality alignment on large size substrates is also easily achieved because of the linear design of the ion beam sputtering source, which is a big challenge for FLC on SiOx layers before.

Control of liquid crystal (LC) orientation using a proper SiO2 alignment layer is essential for the optimization of vertically aligned nematic (VAN) displays. With this aim, we studied the optical anisotropy of thin SiO2 films by generalized ellipsometry as a function of deposition angle. The columnar SiO2 structure orientation measured by a noninvasive ellipsometry technique is reported for th...
