Optical Simulation of Axially Symmetrical Vertically Aligned Liquid Crystal Displays With Circularly Symmetric Iso-Contrast

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

This investigation reports the optical simulation of axially symmetric vertically aligned liquid crystal displays (ASVA LCDs). The circularly symmetric iso-light leakage and iso-transmittance contours of one subpixel result in the circularly symmetric iso-contrast contours. The contrast ratio of the area close to <i>x</i>- and <i>y</i>-axes at a polar angle of around 30° exceeds 10. The LCs near some azimuthal angles are not perfectly aligned in circularly symmetric manner because of the square subpixel. Such a reason causes major reduction of the light utilization efficiency. Additionally, the circularly symmetric iso-contrast has potential for fabricating private mobile products.
