“…In past years, this technique has been extensively used to align LC materials. [109][110][111][112] Recently, Chou et al demonstrated that this approach can also be applied to aligning small conjugated molecules, thereby fabricating OFETs with anisotropic electronic properties. [49] As shown in Figure 13a, on a photoaligned polyimide layer, the pentacene film is aligned perpendicularly to the polarization direction of the incident UV light, resulting in grains continuous along this direction.…”

“…Historically, the photo-induced anisotropy recorded in the polyvinylcinnamate was first demonstrated in 1977 [1]. This material was then applied to align the liquid crystal molecules, and very promising results had been obtained [2][3]. However, the homogenous alignment cannot be restored after a number of thermal cycles.…”

“…Taking into account these features as well as the alignment direction of PVCN layers perpendicular to the light polarization [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] one can deduce that the transversal configuration presented in Fig. 1b is realized.…”

“…To model these cavities we used cylindrical capillaries of 8-25 µm in diameter. The capillary walls were covered by thin layers of polyvinylcinnamate (PVCN), photoaligning polymer providing planar anchoring with the alignment direction perpendicular to polarization axis of actinic light [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. For this purpose, PVCN was dissolved in chlorobenzene.…”
