Development of liquid crystalline polymer film "Nisseki LC Film" for viewing angle compensation of various LCD modes
To improve quality of images of LCDs such as their viewing angle performance and coloration, liquid crystalline retardation film technology has been developed by using rod-like liquid crystalline polymer. The resulting liquid crystalline retardation film has several advantages over conventional uni- or biaxial stretched retardation film. By using liquid crystalline polymer, the direction of the principal axis can be determined freely for roll-to-roll lamination. Optical well-controlled structures such as twisted nematic, hybrid nematic and homeotropic structures can be stabilized for ideal compensation of various LCD modes including STN, TN, ECB, VA and IPS LCDs.
