23.3: A Novel Mono-Domain Alignment Method for Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal Applying to Half-V Shape Mode Field Sequential Color Displays

We have developed a novel alignment technique to achieve mono-domain mono stable alignment of ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) without applying any electric field in the process. We found that UV curable liquid crystals are key materials in the formation of mono domain alignment of FLC. They are effective to control Ps direction of FLC molecules.

L-5: Late-News Paper: Field Sequential FLCDs Fabricated by Inkjet Printing Technology

In this paper, we have described a novel manufacturing process that was developed for ferroelectric liquid crystal displays (FLCDs) using the Inkjet printing method. It is a low cost process with potential application to large displays. We have also fabricated Field Sequential FLCDs diagonal VGA of 3-inches (267ppi).

27.1: Invited Paper: New Results in Field-Sequential Analog FLCDs Fabricated by Ink-Jet Printing

We have proposed alignment method and inkjet manufacturing process to fabricate analogue switching FLCDs. In this paper we will introduce panel structure and novel polymer material to improve image quality and stabilization of alignment.

37.2: Field‐Sequential FLCDs Fabricated by Ink‐Jet Technology (II)

We have developed a novel manufacturing process for ferroelectric liquid crystal displays (FLCDs) using Inkjet printing method. It is low cost process and having potential to be applied to large displays. Furthermore, We investigated panel structure and condition of assemble under vacuum atmosphere.
