Abstract We proposed a new fast switchable patterned vertical alignment (PVA) mode using UV curable reactive mesogen (RM) which was mixed with vertical alignment layer. In this mixed alignment layer, the pretilt angle was controlled according to an applied voltage during UV exposure for curing the RM. As a result, the response time was dramatically improved at the whole grey levels by controlling the pretilt angle in conventional PVA mode.
