Exposure of positive-type polyimide (PI) to linearly polarized deep UV (DUV) light (257nm) induced homogeneous alignment of nematic liquid crystals. The alignment state changed markedly at a particular energy of the UV light. Measurement of the UV absorption spectrum and retardation change generated in PI films by UV irradiation showed that anisotropic alignment was caused by a new mechanism, photodepolymerization of polyimide main chains parallel to the electric field of the DUV light.

Abstract— We have fabricated a 13.3‐in. XGA (1024 × 768) TFT sequential‐color liquid‐crystal display using optically compensated birefringency (OCB), illuminated by an LED backlight. We fabricated the sequential‐color display feasible process technology, and examined the performance and potential of a field‐sequential‐color scheme. The display was connected to a laptop computer and examined for flicker.
