Paper No 9.2: Experimental and Theoretical Modeling of Liquid Crystal Orientation on Aligning Film Surfaces

Abstract

Recent experimental and theoretical results in area of liquid crystal (LC) aligning coatings are described. Parameters of the organosilicon compounds (OC) films for LC alignment have been realized that allow their application in the LCD. Green and cheap OC synthesis technologies have been developed. Method of simulation of the LC alignment on solid film has been developed that will allow predicting the aligning substance molecular structure for different LC molecules. In addition, optical properties of cells with sophisticated distribution of local optical axes of birefringent materials have been calculated that allow creating new optical compensators and LCD with wide viewing angles.
