Mutsuhiro Koden
Abstract
Recently, the viewing angle of TFT-LCDs has been drastically improved. The wide
viewing angle technologies are classified into the modifications of molecular
orientation and switching in nematic LC, the utilization of smectic LC, the
application of optical compensation film, the photo-luminescent method, etc.
This paper reviews these wide viewing angle technologies.
