  • Patent number: 7394512
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device (LCD) is provided, in which a first alignment layer is formed to have at least a pair of domains having alignment directions that are perpendicular to each other on a unit pixel, a second alignment layer is formed in the same direction as the first alignment layer, and an optically compensated bend (OCB) mode liquid crystal layer is disposed between the first and second alignment layers to have at least a pair of domains having alignment directions that are perpendicular to each other, so that horizontal and vertical viewing angles can be improved and phase transition voltage can be lowered.

  • Patent number: 7382427
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device (LCD) including an OCB mode liquid crystal layer is provided, in which an even number of domains are formed in one unit pixel, the number of domains being at least two, and the arrangement of liquid crystal (LC) molecules in the domains is controlled so that the LCD has wide vertical and horizontal viewing angles. Also, a disclination line formed in the unit pixel allows the LC molecules to readily make a transition to an initial bend phase.

  • Publication number: 20080007566
    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to a multi-dimensional image selectable display device having an image panel adapted to output an image, and a barrier panel at an upper-side portion of the display device so as to display the image as a two dimensional image or a three dimensional image. The barrier panel may include a first substrate having a first electrode and a second electrode arranged so as to apply a horizontal between the first and second electrodes, a second substrate, and a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates. A phase delay value ?n*d may range from approximately 700 to 800 nm, wherein the phase delay value ?n*d may be a product of a double refraction value ?n of a liquid crystal constituting the liquid crystal layer, and a cell gap d between the first and second substrates.

  • Publication number: 20060125715
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device (LCD) which applies a high voltage for carrying out a bend transition of an optically compensated birefringence (OCB) liquid crystal as a reset voltage to a common electrode of the OCB liquid crystal in the LCD having an OCB mode, and a method of driving the same are provided. In the OCB mode LCD, a voltage of a DC-DC converter is applied to a common electrode to reset the OCB liquid crystal at an initial stage of every frame or before applying data to each pixel. In addition, when one frame is divided into red, green and blue fields, and sequentially driven, a voltage of the DC-DC converter is applied to the common electrode to reset the OCB liquid crystal before each field begins. The DC-DC converter applies a voltage of 15V to 30V to the common electrode. An optical transmittance of the liquid crystal at the time of reset becomes zero (black state). Accordingly, a blurring effect can be removed while a reset time can be decreased, thereby increasing the brightness.
