P‐141: A Wide‐view Multi‐domain Vertical‐alignment Liquid Crystal Display with High Transmittance and High Contrast

Abstract A wide viewing angle multi‐domain vertical‐alignment liquid crystal display (VA‐LCD) is proposed. According to this design, by integrating a kind of wide‐view circular polarizer, a contrast ratio higher than 800:1 is predicted over the entire ±85 ° viewing cone with the transmittance higher than 33% for an eight‐domain VA‐LCD. Potential application for LCD television is emphasized.
