The increase of pretilt angle of liquid crystal in an active matrix (AM) liquid crystal display (LCD) is one of the most important issues to achieve high-contrast and defect-free AM LCDs. We have developed a new generation method of the pretilt angle by using newly synthesized organic-solvent-soluble polyimides containing two types of diamine. The maximum pretilt angle of 2.8° for a nematic liquid crystal is obtained using new polyimides.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
