Axially symmetric vertically-aligned (ASVA) liquid crystal display using surface relief gratings on a polymer layer
A new method of fabricating a vertically aligned (VA) LCD with axially symmetric multi-domains is presented here. Multi-domain structure is created by 2-dimensional grating surfaces treated to induce homeotropic alignment. The LCD configuration presented here has an axially multi-domain structure along the surface relief and excellent viewing characteristics.
