摘要：

A novel. geometric structure for achieving a uniform splay-to-bend transition in a pi cell is proposed. In order to obtain the uniform bend transition, we formed a hybrid domain structure at the edge of a liquid crystal cell by the ion-beam alignment method. We found that the uniform bend transition spreads from the edge of a pi cell to the bulk region. With the proposed structure we can achieve a reliable and uniform bend transition in a pi cell.
