Development of world’s first Photo Alignment Technology for LCD panels by Sharp
Sharp Corporation today made an announcement today on development of world’s first Photo Alignment technology to be used for LCD panels. The new technology is capable of precisely controlling the alignment of liquid crystal molecules in a simple LCD panel structure. In achieving this Sharp has made use of special material that responds to ultraviolet rays and at the same time has developed UV2A Technology a photo-alignment technology capable for purpose of aligning film in LCD panels, providing a highly accurate control over the alignment of liquid crystal molecules corresponding to the direction of radiation. The newly developed technology controls the tilt angle of liquid crystal molecules with a size of around 2 nanometers with an accuracy measured in picometers. The newly developed technology in addition of eliminating light leakage form the backlite resulting in display of deep blacks, it also offers a higher aperture ratios in the LCD panel resulting in a most efficient use of light from the backlite in a further energy saving performance. The UV2A Technology will be also targeted in 4Kx2K displays as well as 3D TVs applications as the next generation of TVs. The new technology will be incorporated in the new LCD panels manufactured at Sharp’s Sakai plant and in Kameyama plant in Japan.
