We demonstrated fast in-plane switching (IPS) of negative liquid crystals by using crossed patterned electrodes. Switching to the bright state can be achieved by applying an in-plane field using the bottom patterned electrodes, whereas switching to the dark state can be obtained by applying an in-plane field using the top patterned electrodes. We obtained, experimentally, turn-off switching that was four times faster than that of the conventional IPS mode.
