    Abstract

    We propose a new A-film-enhanced fringe field switching (A-FFS) liquid crystal display whose required dn value is only /4, which is one-half of a conventional FFS. Fast response time can be achieved by either decreasing the cell gap (d) or choosing a low birefringence (n) and low-viscosity liquid crystal. The effect of dn mismatch between A-film and FFS cell on contrast ratio is analysed. By choosing a dispersion-matched A-film, we can obtain a reasonably high contrast ratio in the entire visible region.
