The current state of-and future plans for-the micro eledro mechanical CAD system SESES developed at the ETH Zurich are presented. The algorithmic requirements for the numerical modelling of microelectromechanical (MEM) devices are presented with reference to six important modelling problems. Numerical results are given for an electrostatic comb actuator.
In this paper we propose a low‐twist vertically‐aligned transflective liquid crystal display (LCD). By optimizing the twist angle and the chiral pitch, we achieved high reflectance as well as high transmittance.
Two different configurations of transflective liquid crystal displays (LCDs) using multi-domain method will be presented. One is composed of hybrid-aligned nematic mode in the reflective region and parallel-rubbed vertically aligned mode in the transmissive region. In order to make the reflective and transmissive regions in the same pixel independent, an Ar + ion-beam alignment method is used. The other multi-domain transflective LCD, where vertically aligned mode is applied, has patterned metal electrodes on one substrate. In this mode, the device can be designed with single driving circuit and single cell gap. These transflective LCDs show excellent performance in reflectance and transmittance characteristics, viewing angle property, and contrast ratio.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
