摘要
A pixel isolation wall of liquid crystal display is fabricated by utilizing the excellent phase separation between liquid crystal molecules and fluorinated UV-curable polymers. Due to the strong immiscibility of the fluorinated monomers, the segregation of the material occurs effectively to form a polymer wall during the UV exposure. Twisted nematic liquid crystal cells with fluorinated polymer wall are fabricated for the comparison with other devices made of ordinary polymer wall. The fluorinated polymer wall device exhibits enhancement of contrast due to the suppression of the light leakage through the polymer wall as well as reduced saturation voltage by anchoring enhancement.
