Abstract:
1. An in-plane switching liquid crystal display, comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate opposite to each other; a twisted nematic liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first and second substrates; a first polarizer disposed at an outer surface of the first substrate, and a second polarizer disposed at an outer surface of the second substrate, polarizing axes of the first and second polarizers being parallel to each other; a plurality of pixel electrodes and a plurality of common electrodes disposed at the second substrate; and a first alignment layer disposed at an inner surface of the first substrate, and a second alignment layer disposed at an inner surface of the second substrate; wherein the first alignment layer maintains a rubbing direction of approximately 90° relative to the second alignment layer, and the second alignment layer has an anchoring strength greater than that of the first alignment layer.
