Abstract
Section titled āAbstractāFor augmented reality and virtual reality displays, high-resolution density, high luminance, and fast response time are critically needed. High-resolution density helps eliminate the screen-door effect; high luminance and fast response time enable low duty ratio operation, which plays a key role for suppressing image blurs. By using a low viscosity material and new diamond-shaped electrode configuration, we demonstrate a fringe field switching liquid crystal display, abbreviated as d-FFS LCD, with high transmittance, fast grey-to-grey response time, low operation voltage, wide viewing angle, and indistinguishable colour shift and gamma shift. We also investigate the rubbing angle (Ī±) effects on transmittance and response time. When Ī± = 0Ā°, the virtual wall effect is strong, resulting in fast response time but compromised transmittance. When Ī± ā„ 1.2Ā°, the virtual walls disappear, as a result, the transmittance increases dramatically, but the trade-off is in slower response time.
