Improvement of LC Alignment by Control of UV Irradiation and Wet Cleaning for a Photo-Degradable Polyimide Layer

Mechanical orientation in thermotropic liquid crystal state and magnetic orientation in solvent evaporation process via lyotropic liquid crystal state of an amphotropic low-bandgap liquid-crystalline π-conjugated polymer

“…Liquid crystal alignment is one of the most important issues in materials chemistry because aligned polymers show improved mechanical strength and optical anisotropy. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Conjugated polymers have been employed in electronic devices, such as electroluminescence displays [8][9][10][11] and solar cells. [12][13][14] Liquid crystalline semiconductors were developed to obtain opto-electronic functional materilas.…”
