- Abstract
- It is very important to increase the contrast ratio in liquid crystal display (LCD) TV using polymer-stabilized vertical alignment (PS-VA) mode. The luminance of the black state is greatly reduced by changing the parameters of the polarizer, the color filter, and the liquid crystal. However, these have the side effect of reducing the characteristics such as the transmittance, the response time, and the viewing angle. In this paper, the luminance of the black state can be reduced by lowering the stress induced retardation at the edge of pixel electrode without changing the materials in the PS-VA mode. It has been shown for the first time that the stress difference in the heterogeneous layers such as amorphous indium zinc oxide (a-IZO) and amorphous silicon nitride (a-SiNx) can optically create birefringence in the microscopic region. By controlling the stress difference in the heterogeneous membrane, the microscopic-stress-induced retardation (MSIR) could be lowered and the contrast ratio of the PS-VA mode could be increased up to 10%.
