Optical Characterization of the Twisted Nematic Liquid Crystal Display

ABSTRACTA simple optical characterization technique is developed for to find the amplitude and phase modulation modes for the twisted nematic liquid crystal display (TN-LCD). The developed technique is based on intensity and pixel shift measurements of the interference pattern obtained from the TN-LCD sandwiched between two polarizers in a modified Young's experiment. Particularly, specimen LC2002 Holoeye is characterized and its amplitude and phase modulation curves as a function of image's gray level, bright B and contrast C are presented.
