The electro-optical characteristics of field-induced microdomain liquid-crystal display modes are investigated. One side of the substrate has radial electrodes and the other side has concentric electrodes. Large numbers of multidomain structures are induced in one pixel. The electric field gradually decreases from the center to the outer multidomains due to the radial electrodes. The contrast ratio of the homeotropic alignment cell is 210:1. Symmetric viewing angle characteristics without gray scale inversion are also obtained. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics. References: 9
