High transmittance blue-phase liquid crystal displays with slit-shaped electrode

Abstract

A blue-phase liquid crystal displays (BP-LCDs) with slit-shaped pixel and common electrodes structure is proposed to increase the transmittance. It generates not only in plane field between the pixel electrodes, but also fringe field above the common electrodes. As a result, the high transmittance is obtained. The aperture ratio is also improved because of the capacitor between the pixel and common electrodes.

Keywords:

• slit-shaped electrode
• liquid crystal displays
• fringe field
• in plane field
