Abstract

Refractive-index-matched indium-tin-oxide (ITO) electrode for thin-film transistor liquid crystal displays is presented to reduce optical losses caused by Fresnel reflections. Simulations show a 24% improvement in optical transmittance when the conventional dense ITO is replaced with the refractive-index-matched ITO in a stack of glass/ITO/liquid crystal/ITO/glass. The refractive-index-matched ITO, fabricated by oblique-angle deposition technique, shows higher optical transmittance and smaller dependency on film thickness and wavelength than conventional dense ITO.
