AB - We present a novel liquid crystal (LC) display device based on the molecular    orientation effect referred to as the electrically induced hybrid twisted nematic (EHTN) LC molecular    orientation in homogeneously aligned LC cells with slit-patterned electrode structures. With a    simplified EHTN orientation model, we investigate the viewing-angle and contrast ratio characteristics    of this display mode by a computer simulation using Berreman's 4×4 matrix calculus. A very high    contrast ratio property is exhibited due to very low transmission levels in the “off" state. Moreover,    the electrooptical characteristics of the EHTN LC display mode are studied by measuring the    transmittances at various viewing angles. A wide viewing-angle and high contrast ratio property is    demonstrated experimentally.
