Abstract
This paper proposes a temperature-dependent behavioral circuit model to predict the optical char- acteristics of an active-matrix liquid crystal display with a fringe-field switching (FFS) mode. The optical responses of liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are strongly affected by their ambient temperature. We optimized the time-constant parameters that describe the movement of liquid crystal molecules so that simulated optical responses of FFS LCD provide the best fit to the measured responses over the temperature range of 0 to 50°C. It is found that these time-constant parameters have a linear relationship with the ambient temperature, which enables the prediction of optical responses at any given temperature. The simulation results of the transient responses show an excellent match with the measured results regardless of the ambient temperature. © The Authors.

Summary
Liquid crystal display (LCD) technology is rapidly becoming a universal choice for display applications because of its high performance and low power requirement. In order to achieve higher and advanced performance of active-matrix LCDs (AMLCDs), electrical and optical characteristics of the liquid crystal (LC) should be accurately predicted. 7,8 These mathematical methods guarantee accurate results if all the environmental variables are known.[7,8] these equations require significant computational time. These methods are not compatible with circuit simulations. We propose a temperature-dependent behavioral circuit model to predict the optical characteristics of AMLCDs with a fringe-field switching (FFS) mode.
