A significant improvement in the dynamic response times of IPS mode LCDs is achieved through polymer‐stabilization. The improvement is a result of the introduction of a low‐density, stabilizing polymer network that causes the LC director to favor the zero‐field orientation. We report on the effect of the polymer concentration and network orientation on the electro‐optic performance of our novel polymer‐stabilized IPS mode cells. Furthermore, we present a detailed model derived using elastic continuum theory to explain our observations.
