Abstract
AbstractThe surface monolayer stabilized vertically aligned liquid crystal (VA‐LC) mode is presented for television applications. Photo‐reactive self‐assembled monolayer (PR‐SAM) is formed on inorganic oxide surfaces. The SAM layer on oxide surfaces initially induce a homeotropic alignment of nematic LCs. Subsequent polymerization of the photo‐reactive SAM under applied electric field efficiently stabilizes LC alignment and induces a stable pretilt of LC molecules for four different directions in each pixel of the fishbone‐patterned VA‐cells. As results, improved electro‐optic characteristics, such as faster grey‐to‐grey response time, lower threshold voltage and enhanced brightness, are obtained after the polymerization‐induced stabilization of the photo‐reactive SAM.
