The ECS™
technology involves the use of ”active” alignment layers to
affect favourably the switching of liquid crystal molecules in LCDs. The
alignment layers are dynamically influenced by the electric field used
for driving the LCD and their dynamic behaviour and interaction with the
liquid crystal facilitates the switching of the liquid crystal molecules,
leading to improved response time characteristics.
ECS™ – ”Electrically Commanded Surfaces”. Dynamic
alignment layers that are affected by electric field (applied across liquid
crystal in LCD), and that enhance the switching and response characteristics
of the LCD.
The ECS™ technology has been developed and patented for several
different LCD modes such as vertical alignment (VA), planar alignment
(PA), and in-plane switching (IPS). The Ecsibeo technology can be used
in existing production lines and consequently the time to market for products
based on the ECS™ technology is expected to be short.
Ecsibeo has developed two major different ECS™ modes (and related
alignment materials):
- Electrically Commanded Surface Driving
- Electrically Commanded Surface Anchoring
