Improvement of IPS mode structure using fast Q‐tensor method

Abstract IPS and VA have evolved in various structures such as H‐IPS, AS‐IPS, and S‐PVA gain more competitiveness. The new pixel structures inherently have more domains which cause disclination areas. The effect of disclination is no longer neglected in those structures. A new simulation tool based on FAST Q‐tensor method enables one to predict the shape of disclinations and the resulting optical properties. It ensures more accurate results compared to vector‐based simulation. We applied this simulation tool for the development of 26‐inch wide monitor having H‐IPS mode.
