Abstract
A transflective polymer-stabilized blue-phase liquid crystal
display (BP-LCD) using an etched in-plane switching (IPS) structure
is proposed. To balance the optical phase retardation between the
transmissive <i>(T)</i>- and reflective <i>(R)</i>-regions, IPS
electrodes are formed with the same dimensions in both <i>T</i>- and
<i>R</i>-regions, and the substrate between the electrodes is
etched for generating double-penetrating fringe fields only in the
<i>T</i>-region. This display exhibits a reasonably wide viewing
angle and well-matched voltage dependent transmittance and
reflectance curves.
