In this work we propose a liquid crystal mode in which vertically‐aligned negative nematic liquid crystals are switched on by applying a fringe electric field. In the proposed mode, vertically‐aligned negative liquid crystals can be switched on by the vertical as well as in‐plane components of an applied fringe field so that high transmittance can be achieved. By fabricating a test cell, we experimentally obtained a transmittance of 33.7 %, which is 8.7 % higher than a homogeneously‐aligned fringe field switching cell using positive liquid crystals.
