P‐148: Viewing Angle Switching in Vertical Alignment Liquid Crystal Display by Optimizing Pixel Structure and Controlling LC Orientation

Abstract: Viewing angle control of a vertical alignment (VA) liquid crystal display using only one panel has been investigated. In conventional VA modes, LC director tilts down in four directions making 45 o with respect to crossed polarizers to give rise to wide viewing angle. By dividing pixel into two regions or RGBW structure and controlling the LC director to tilt down to the polarizer axes, the image quality in oblique directions can be controlled without distorting the image quality at normal direction. Also usin… Show more

“…However, such liquid crystal molecules with 90/270 deg. aligning directions are not always useless/bad for some special applications like privacy protection [9][10]. Usually some metal lines would be placed under the ITO trunk to improve color washout and provide the storage capacitor at the same time.…”

“…Other approaches are to realize the viewing angle control function without additional panel by using the pixel division method, in which one pixel is divided into two sub pixels for displaying the main image and controlling viewing angle [23][24][25][26][27][28], or by using three-terminal electrodes to control the gray scale together with viewing angle [29][30][31][32]. However, these methods need additional electronic circuits and electrodes within a pixel, which reduce the aperture ratio and light efficiency.…”

“…Under certain environments that personal and/or confidential information needs to be secured when viewed on a display, it is desirable to have the viewing angles be as narrow as possible for the user demand. For dual (narrow and wide) viewing purposes, several methods of achieving switchable viewing angles in liquid crystal displays (LCDs), for example, panel stacking [1][2][3] and pixel dividing techniques, 4,5) in addition to the use of dual backlight units, 6) have been proposed. Among them, the panel stacking approach is widely adopted because of the high optical efficiency and the flexibility in optical design.…”
