P-170L: Late-News Poster: Viewing Angle Enhancement Technology with the Polymer Stabilized In-Plane Switching Mode Liquid Crystal Display

The polymer stabilized effect of the in‐plane switching(IPS) liquid crystal(LC) mode has been investigated. The polymer stabilized IPS LC mode exhibits low pretilt angle properties caused by additional new layer formation between bulk LC and alignment layer. Theoretically, low pretilt angle formation in the IPS LC mode is very helpful to improve viewing angle property in black state. but, until know, it is almost impossible to realize low pretilt angle IPS LC mode with usual rubbing process. With this low pretilt angle effect, the polymer stabilized IPS technology was confirmed to have good viewing angle properties in black state.
