Recently, as the demand for a non-contact liquid crystal alignment method capable of improving viewing angle characteristics has spread throughout the industry, various non-contact liquid crystal alignment methods, including conventional UV light alignment, are being actively studied. In the case of UV light alignment, it is currently applied to mass production in many fields and shows relatively excellent initial characteristics, but there is a problem of display quality deterioration over time. In this study, among these non-contact liquid crystal alignment methods, the liquid crystal is oriented by quantitatively irradiating an ion beam onto the SiOF inorganic film, which has excellent initial characteristics and does not cause deterioration in quality over time., the electro-optical properties were evaluated by manufacturing a commercial-level IPS (In-Plane Switching) liquid crystal cell. In particular, in the case of such inorganic film orientation, it is common to have many problems with orientation stability, but the evaluation cell manufactured by the method proposed in this study is capable of maintaining a uniform orientation without losing orientation even after heat treatment at a high temperature of 200°C. could be observed.

In this study, we studied the method of using general architectural glass instead of using the existing acrylic material for high luminance flat lighting. The flat panel lighting used the side illumination method to increase the ease of installation and aesthetic satisfaction. In general, glass has an amorphous structure with a lower angle of refraction than acrylic, so it is not suitable for use in flat panel lighting as a light guide, but in this study, the role of light distribution characteristics and diffusion patterns in the case of using such a glass light guide. Quantitative simulations were conducted to confirm new possibilities. In the simulation, the backlight estimation method was used, and about 10,000,000 rays were placed within a unit area in order to obtain a result similar to the real thing. As a result of the simulation, the geometry of the diffusion pattern could be specified, and the value of the geometry could be quantified using the ratio of the diameter and height of the pattern. As a result of the calculation, it was found that the maximum amount of light was generated around 75 degrees by quantitatively calculating the ratio and the outgoing light angle at which the maximum value of the outgoing light occurred between 05 and 1.0. As a result of these studies, it was confirmed that it is possible to use ordinary glass at the same time as a transparent window and light-emitting lighting at night.
