An Improved Pi-Cell Liquid Crystal Display高預傾角之液晶顯示

Summary
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) TV is a big potential market. However, the response time of the LCD TV is still inferior to PDP; fuzzy edge on moving objects is observed in the LCD TV. To make fast switching, wide viewing angle and optical efficient LCD, pi-cell is a possible choice.

In this invention, the response time of LCD is shortened by applying an improved alignment layer. The pi-cell is optically compensated through this special liquid crystal alignment layer that can produce a stable high pretilt angle in the cell. The optical efficiency is therefore optimized to provide an intrinsically wide viewing angle. Moreover, it does not require any bias voltage for maintaining the proper operation and is always in its desired bend deformation. Experiments show the pi-cell is very easy to operate and has a fast switching speed. LCD made with this new pi-cell has a total on-off switching time less than 2ms, with a turn-on time less than 1ms.

This invention can be used in LCD industry, especially for LCD TV and bistable displays.
Technology Benefits
1. Easier to operate
2. Increase response speed
3. Wider viewing angles
Technology Application
- LCD industry, especially for bistable displays and LCDTV
