Abstract

Electro-optical performances of in-plane switching mode active matrix addressed liquid crystal (LC) displays were analyzed by using device simulations. Practical combinations of 2D simulations to analyze precise electric and LC director fields and fast 1D simulations to grasp electro- optical characteristics were systematically utilized. Electrode geometries and tilt angle of the LC molecules at the substrate surface were identified as key points to optimize the electronic performance and optical performance, respectively.
