Excellent viewing angle and outstanding ability of color reproduction in-plane switching liquid crystal displays (IPS-LCDs) are widely applied in TFT-LCD. However
its development in high-end LCD is limited by its slow response. In this paper
the electro-optic characteristics and response time of FFS and FIS modes in the IPS type are simulated with different rubbing angle by using the positive liquid crystal material. Furthermore
we report a simple method to reduce the response time in the fringe and in-plane switching (FIS) cell by optimizing tilt angle
electrodes size
and elastic constants. Through the simulations
we can obtain that the rubbing angle has a great influence on operating voltage in FFS cell
and small rubbing angle can achieve high transmittance and low operating voltage. However
the rubbing angle has a great impact on the response time in FIS cell. When the angle is greater than 10°
the response speed is increased by more than 82.7% compared with 2°. In addition
the elastic constants have an effect on the response time under different rubbing angles in the FIS mode. When the rubbing angle is 2°
the response speed is related to
K
11
K
22
and
K
33
.
When the rubbing angle is 12°
the response speed is only related to
K
22
which results in an increase in switching speed of 84.2% compared to 2°.
