Bifunctional LCD Films

Abstract

We propose in-cell LCD films with a function of compensation films and alignment layers. The processes used to create these functions exclude mechanical contact with the films. There is proposed approach decoupling retardation and liquid crystal alignment. This approach is employed to realize different combinations of retardation and alignment properties.

Keywords:

• compensation film
• in-cell film
• ion beam alignment
• liquid crystal alignment
• photoalignment
