Popis: Vertical alignment liquid crystal (LC) cell driven by in-plane field with 3-D polymer network exhibited no pooling mura under an external mechanical pressure; however, the operating voltage of the device was increased, because the polymer network hinders field-induced reorientation of LC. In this paper, we adopted a modified cell structure in which a counter electrode on top substrate of the conventional mode is existed, to improve upon this drawback. The proposed device in which the polymer network is formed in bulk of vertically aligned LC layer shows a very fast response time of 2 ms (rise + decay), 57% reduction in operating voltage, and also keeps image quality although the cell is curved.
