A novel vertical alignment display
Vertical alignment display is of interest in a view point of fast response time with wide viewing angle and rubbing free displays. We have fabricated a new vertical alignment display driven by fringe field with initially biased surface boundary condition on one side of substrate. The device exhibits interesting molecular dynamics depending on biased state when the voltage is applied. In this paper, the electro-optic characteristics and molecular dynamics of novel cells will be discussed.
