Abstract

A novel high-transmittance vertical-alignment liquid crystal display using combined fringe and in-plane electric fields is described. The strong horizontal electrical fields cause a greater number of liquid crystals to become tilted above and between the electrode pixels. As a result, transmittance is higher than that for cells driven by fringe field switching or by in-plane switching, at the same time preserving a wide viewing angle and fast response. A high performance device of this type is particularly attractive in large liquid crystal displays.
