Abstract

Color tracking in a fringe-field driven homogenously aligned nematic liquid crystal cell [named fringe-field switching (FFS)] has been investigated. In the in-plane switching (IPS) device and the FFS device using liquid crystals (LCs) with negative dielectric anisotropy (-LC), the LCs rotate almost in plane except for surfaces where the color tracking occurs for cell retardation value that shows a maximal transmittance. In the IPS device, authentic color appears at a very low cell retardation value that exhibits a low transmittance and bluish white. However, the FFS device shows authentic color even at a relatively high cell retardation value 0.30 μm so that high transmittance and greenish white are kept.
