Abstract

The nematic liquid crystal (NLC) alignment capability achieved by ion beam alignment on a nitrogen-doped diamond-like carbon (NDLC) thin film was investigated. To characterize the NDLC thin film, we analyzed the obtained atomic force microscopy (AFM) images and pretilt angle. Moreover, we investigated the electro optical (EO) performance characteristics of ion-beam-aligned in-plane switching (IPS) cell with the NDLC thin film. The EO performance characteristics of the ion-beam-aligned IPS cell were observed by ion beam exposure on the NDLC thin film and compared with those of a rubbing aligned polyimide (PI) thin film. Finally, similarly prominent capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics were achieved in the ion-beam-aligned NDLC thin film compared with the rubbing-aligned PI thin film.
