Abstract

Liquid crystal display (LCD) is very important in the computer industry and many other areas. However, the application of LCD is limited by its narrow viewing angle, compared with a cathode ray tube (CRT) display. In this article a new type of LCD [ridge- and fringe field multidomain homeotropic (RFFMH) LCD], is introduced. In RFFMH LCD, a transparent photoimageable polymer resist is applied to build ridges on each pixel to control the liquid crystal pretilt direction. This photolithographic step imparts a wider viewing angle and simpler LCD production process. In this article the detailed process of building the ridge structure is described, and the thermal stability and chemical resistance of this polymer are studied. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
