Generation of residual direct-current (DC) voltage (VrDC) induces serious image sticking of liquid crystal displays (LCDs). In this study, a novel technique to determine the VrDC of LC cells is proposed. We found that the VrDC could be determined from a current-voltage (I-V) curve obtained by the application of triangular voltage. In the case of a vertically aligned twisted nematic (VTN) mode LC cell, where a vertical electric field is applied, the I-V curve shows maximum and minimum current peaks owing to rotation of an LC director, and the VrDC is able to be determined from an average value of the two peaks. On the other hand, in the case of a fringe field switching (FFS) mode LC cell, where an in-plane (lateral) electric field is applied from comb electrodes, the current peaks derived from the rotation of the LC director do not appear. Therefore, we could not adopt the same way with that of the VTN mode LC cell. However, we found that there were two minimum current peaks derived from minimum capacitances of the FFS mode LC cell, and could determine the VrDC by using these two current peaks. The proposed technique would be useful for the evaluation of the VrDC of the LCDs, where the electric field is applied both vertically and laterally.
