Recent progress in liquid crystal displays(LCDs) achieved by photo-aligning the liquid crystal (LC) with the linear photopolymerization (LPP)-technology are outlined. LPP-alignment gives way to high resolution azimuthal LC-director patterns with defined bias tilt angles, which renders multidomain twisted nematic (TN-) LCDs feasible. A 5 inch 320x240 pixel LPP-photoaligned dual domain TFT-TN-LCD for car navigation systems exhibiting a very broad angle of view is presented .
