Viewing Angle Switching using Hybrid Aligned Nematic Liquid Crystal Display Driven by a Fringe-Field

摘要

Conventional viewing angle switching electrode requires pixel division and additional liquid crystal panel. Hence the conventional viewing angle switching has low aperture ratio and high thickness. In this paper we proposed new viewing angle switching using hybrid aligned nematic mode by fringe-field electrode field (named HAN-FFS) with single liquid crystal panel. The fringe-field switching electrode is located at the bottom, and the additional common electrode is located at the top of the cell to control viewing angle. The proposed device is free from additional liquid crystal panel and pixel division. Consequently, the suggested structure has not only high aperture ratio but also show an excellent potential for viewing angle switching.
