Conventionally, the alignment layer like polyimide is necessary for Liquid Crystal (LC) initial alignment. In this study, we have developed a novel reactive monomer (RM) for self vertical alignment (SVA). Doping this SVA RM into LC, we become able to manufacture VA mode Liquid Crystal Display panel without alignment layer. This technology would bring many merits to LCD performance.
Also, this technology is very good compatibility with the Polymer Sustained Alignment (PSA) technology, that is widely used for LCD TV application etc. We report our achievement, comparing PSA.
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.
