The bending angle effect on a multi-domain in-plane switching liquid crystal display (MD IPS LCD) using the chevron-shaped electrodes is investigated through a three-dimensional simulation. We find that when the bending angle of the electrodes increases from 10° to 40°, the threshold voltage is lowered from 1.25 V rms to 0.75 V rms . With the optimized uniaxial compensation films, the viewing angle of the film-compensated MD IPS LCD is widened to ±80° viewing cone while keeping a 100:1 contrast ratio. These outstanding performances are expected to make impact to the flat panel display industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We examined the conditions that produce no grayscale inversion over a wide-viewing-angle. We also examined the optimum conditions for a retardation film that compensates for the retardation of all LC cells in the dark state. Using these conditions, we realized a wide-viewing-angle, high-contrast LCD with a simple structure and high brightness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We propose in-cell LCD films with a function of compensation films and alignment layers. The processes used to create these functions exclude mechanical contact with the films. There is proposed approach decoupling retardation and liquid crystal alignment. This approach is employed to realize different combinations of retardation and alignment properties.
