Abstract
Key technologies for the -Vmin mode FLCDs (Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal Displays) were developed. An FLC material with negative dielectric anisotropy was developed, realizing fast line address time of 23µsec/line at 25°C. The C2-uniform (C2U) orientation with chevron layer structure was achieved by using an aligning film with medium pretilt angle. High shock stability (20kg/cm2) was achieved by making a spacer wall structure within display. Combining these key technologies with digital gray scale method (2 bits spatial dither and 3 bits temporal dither), a 6"-prototype color FLCD with 240x320 dots, 262,000 colors (64 gray levels for each color) was fabricated.
