P‐149: Maximization of Transmittance and Minimization of Image‐Flickering due to Flexoelectric Effect in Low‐Frequency Driving Fringe‐Field Switching (FFS) Mode Using LCs with Negative Dielectric Anisotropy

Image‐flickering due to flexoelectric effect in a low frequency driven fringe‐field switching (FFS) LCD is troublesome. Maximization of transmittance in the FFS mode is achieved using LCs with negative dielectric anisotropy but still the flickering exists. The paper describes in detail on optimal solutions how it can be solved by controlling the ratio of electrode width to distance and thickness of passivation layer. The results greatly contribute to achieve high transmittance and image‐flickering free FFS LCD.
