摘要
The effects of pretilt angle on electro-optical properties of optically compensated bend liquid crystal cells with a mixed polyimide alignment layer are investigated. By adjusting the mixed polyimide concentration, several kinds of alignment layers are produced, and a wide range of pretilt angles (2 degrees - 66 degrees) are achieved. Differing from the conventional addresses, the maximum-light-transmittance voltage, obtained from the transmittance-voltage curve of the cell undergoing the reverse measurement, is employed, making a similar to 14% enhancement in the output transmittance. Compared to the 0-wt% cell, the 0.6-wt% cell with 16 degrees pretilt angle achieves similar to 38% and similar to 50% improvement in the rising-time and falling-time response, respectively.
