Abstract: An electrode array structure comprises a plurality of teeth of a comb-shaped common electrode extending in a first lengthwise direction, and a plurality of teeth of a comb-shaped pixel electrode extending in a second lengthwise direction, wherein each tooth of the pixel electrode parallel is disposed between adjacent teeth of the common electrode. When the tooth of the common electrode has a rectangular profile, the tooth of the pixel electrode has a continuous ?-shaped profile which may be formed by lengthwise linking of trapezoids or inverted trapezoids. When the tooth of the pixel electrode has a rectangular profile, the tooth of the common electrode has a continuous ?-shaped profile which may be formed by lengthwise linking of trapezoids or inverted trapezoids.

Abstract: An in-plane switching mode liquid crystal display (IPS-LCD). A plurality of lengthwise-extending common electrodes are formed in each pixel area, and each common electrode has a curved or zigzag profile. A plurality of lengthwise-extending pixel electrodes are formed in each pixel area, and each pixel electrode has a curved or zigzag profile. The pixel electrodes are disposed in the intervals between the common electrodes, and two adjacent pixel and common electrodes form a subpixel area. Liquid crystal molecules are positioned within each sub-pixel area. The two adjacent pixel electrode and common electrodes within each sub-pixel area are not parallel to each other, and thus a gradient in-plane electric field is generated therebetween.

Abstract: An electrode array structure in a pixel area of an in-plane switching mode LCD (IPS-LCD). A comb-shaped common electrode has a bar extending transversely and a plurality of teeth extending in a first lengthwise direction from the bar, in which each tooth of the common electrode has a continuous ∠-shaped sidewall. A comb-shaped pixel electrode has a bar extending transversely and a plurality of teeth extending in a second lengthwise direction from the bar, in which each tooth has a continuous ∠-shaped sidewall and parallel is disposed between adjacent teeth of the common electrode. An electric-field gradient is generated between the tooth of the common electrode and the adjacent tooth of the pixel electrode to form a non-uniform electric field.

Abstract: A four terminal liquid crystal display device includes orthogonally related row and column electrodes separated by a dielectric and disposed in respective sets above and below the liquid crystal medium. The electrodes in proximity to the LC medium are the column electrodes which have a small alternating square wave bias voltage.+-.Vo imposed therebetween so that a voltage of 2Vo magnitude is normally impressed across the LC medium. When an impulse voltage of magnitude 4Vo is impressed across the exterior row electrodes (+2Vo and -2Vo respectively), since the column electrodes are foraminated or have microapertures therethrough, the electric field established between the row and column electrodes in opposite sets, 3Vo, extends through the microapertures into the LC medium to establish a fringe electric field normal to the surfaces of the column electrodes tending to retain the LC directors in the vertical position.
