Lcd panel having improved response

An electronic device, comprising:

• one or more input structures;
• a storage structure encoding one or more executable routines;
• a processor capable of receiving inputs from the one or more input structures and of executing the one or more executable routines when loaded in a memory;
• and
• a liquid crystal display (LCD) capable of displaying an output of the processor, wherein the LCD includes:
• a pixel electrode;
• a common electrode disposed adjacent to a first side of the pixel electrode;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer disposed adjacent to a second side of the pixel electrode, the second side being substantially opposite from the first side, wherein the liquid crystal layer comprises a plurality of liquid crystal molecules in an untwisted state;
• wherein the plurality of liquid crystal molecules are configured to twist in response to an electrical field generated between the pixel electrode and the common electrode, and wherein the liquid crystal layer comprises a chiral dopant configured to bias the plurality of liquid crystal molecules toward a twisted state while permitting the plurality of liquid crystal molecules to remain in the untwisted state until the electrical field is applied.

A method of manufacturing a fringe field switching (FFS) liquid crystal display (LCD) panel, the method comprising:

• forming a liquid crystal layer, wherein forming the liquid crystal layer comprises:
• disposing nematic liquid crystal material between a plurality of alignment layers;
• dispersing a chiral dopant within the nematic liquid crystal material, wherein the chiral dopant is configured to reduce a response time of the FFS LCD panel;
• and
• forming a polymer network within the liquid crystal layer, wherein the polymer network is also configured to reduce the response time of the FFS LCD panel.
