摘要
The electro optical (EO), characteristics of the in-plane switching twisted nematic mode (IT mode) were studied. The IT mode. can have both the desirable features of the in-plane switching mode and the conventional twisted nematic mode. The excellent features such as the wide viewing angle characteristics and the preferable cell gap error tolerance were numerically and experimentally demonstrated, Even for the gray level transmittance, wide viewing angle characteristics can be confirmed.
