Fast switching and high-contrast polymer-stabilized IPS liquid crystal display

We demonstrated that polymer stabilization can significantly improve the response time of in-plane-switching liquid crystal display. We carried out a systematic study of the effect of polymer networks on the performance of in-plane-switching liquid crystal display. The polymer network has a strong aligning effect on the liquid crystal and has the advantage of reducing the switching time of the display but may have the disadvantage of ruining the contrast ratio because of its scattering effect. Through optimization, we successfully improve the switching time (less than 6 ms) and reduce the scattering and thus retain high contrast ratio (higher than 1000:1).
