| Abstract: | Fringe‐field‐switching (FFS) devices using liquid‐crystal (LC) with a negative dielectric anisotropy exhibit high transmittance and wide viewing angle simultaneously. Recently, we have developed an “Ultra‐FFS” thin‐film‐transistor (TFT) LCD using LC with a positive dielectric anisotropy that exhibits high transmittance, is color‐shift free, has a high‐contrast ratio in a wide range, experiences no crosstalk and has a fast response time of 25 msec. In this paper, the device concept is discussed, and, in addition, the pressure‐resistant characteristics of the devices compared with that of the twisted‐nematic (TN) LCD is discussed. |
