The liquid crystal medium composition includes a negative type liquid crystal material, a polymerizable monomer, a sensitizer, and stabilizer. The sensitizer is an organometallic complex that has an amount of 0.01%-5% of total mass of the liquid crystal composition and has a strong absorption of ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 300-450 nm. The sensitizer converts the primary wavelength range of ultraviolet light for reaction of the polymerizable monomer from 200-300 nm to 300-450 nm, staying away from the absorption band of the liquid crystal material and reducing damages caused on the liquid crystal material and the alignment material of polyimide, thereby heightening reaction efficiency and homogeneity of the polymerizable monomer and the quality and lifespan of the liquid crystal display panel.

  • Patent number: 8792075
    Abstract: A multi-domain vertical alignment liquid crystal display using fringe field amplification is disclosed. Each pixel is subdivided into color dots. Further more each pixel contains extra-planar fringe field amplifiers that separate the color dots of a pixel. The voltage polarity of the color dots and extra-planar fringe field amplifiers are arranged so that fringe fields in each color dot causes multiple liquid crystal domains in each color dot. Specifically, the color dots and the extra-planar fringe field amplifiers are arranged so that neighboring polarized elements have opposite polarities. The performance of the display is further enhanced by using a sliced common electrode having common electrode slices over the color dots.
