SBIR Phase I: Ion and Radical-Free, Polymer-Stabilized, Vertically-Aligned Nematic LCDs for Enhanced Lifetime

该小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目将开发聚合物掺杂剂，加快加工速度并提高良好对准的VA（垂直对准）LCD电池的产量，以改善大面积LCD显示技术：用于HDTV的聚合物稳定垂直对准（货车）LCD。 向列型聚合物混合物将被优化，以建立可靠的工艺，生产出高产量的排列良好的快速开关电池，这些电池可用于显示器和其他光电设备，受益于PS-VA非常快的开关速度。LCD平板显示器市场一直在以稳定的速度增长，即使在经济衰退的中期。该项目开发的添加剂将取代目前使用的反应性单体和UV加工步骤，显著降低成本并延长寿命，同时保留PS-VA显示器的优异速度优势。

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop polymer dopants that expedite processing and increase yield of well aligned VA (Vertically aligned) nematic cells in order to improve large area LCD display technology: Polymer-stabilized vertically aligned nematic (VAN) LCDs for HDTV. The nematic-polymer mixtures will be optimized to establish reliable processes to produce well aligned, fast switching cells in high yield that can be used in displays and other EO devices benefiting from PS-VA remarkably fast switching speed.The LCD flat panel display market has been growing at a steady rate, even in the midst of the economic downturn. The additives developed in this project would replace the currently used reactive monomers and UV processing step, significantly reducing the cost and improving lifetime while retaining the excellent speed advantages of the PS-VA display.
