4.2: Vertical Electrode Fabrication using Conventional LCD Processes

Abstract

A new method to fabricate vertical electrodes for PS-BPLC using conventional LCD fabrication processes is introduced. Hydrogen plasma treatment on the pixel electrode (amorphous indium tin oxide) and undercut structure was successfully applied to realize vertical electrodes which can induce uniform and strong horizontal electric fields to operate PS-BPLC device.

“…In order to further reduce the driving voltage, it is necessary to improve the nano-encapsulated LC layer; adjust the anchoring energy (A/E) of the capsule interface between a wall of the inner capsule and bulk LCs, change the properties of the LC and binder materials. Furthermore, the wall-shaped electrodes expect to improve in effectively reducing the more than 40% of operating voltage in comparison with the conventional electrode structure of IPS modes [8].…”
