Liquid crystal displays with high image quality and fast response time

Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) extend their application fields to TV as well as monitor from portable personal computers, owing to improvement in viewing angle and response time. In LCDs, display mode mainly determines the quality of display. Recently several display modes with high performance such as fringe-field switching (FFS), in-plane switching (IPS), multi-domain vertical alignment (MVA), and optically compensated bend (OCB), have been developed. In this talk, we will review trend of commercially available display modes and report improved FFS mode with high image quality and fast response time.
