| 20090207358 | HORIZONTAL-SWITCHING FLEXIBLE LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAYS AND FABRICATION METHODS THEREOF - Horizontal-switching flexible liquid crystal displays (LCD) and fabrication methods thereof are provided. The horizontal-switching flexible liquid crystal display includes a flexible first substrate, a second substrate and a liquid crystal (LC) layer interposed therebetween. The LC layer consists of liquid crystal molecules affected by a horizontal field and divided into an upper portion and a lower portion. At least one pair of a patterned pixel electrode and a common electrode is disposed on the first substrate. The pixel electrode and the common electrode are formed on the same plane, thereby generating a horizontal field during operation. First and second alignment layers allow the LC molecules of the LC layer to be in a substantially vertical alignment. The phase retardation of the horizontal-switching LCD is due to the lower portion of the LC layer. | 08-20-2009 |
