Photo-Alignment Technology

Abstract: LCDs are used in many everyday devices, including mobile phones, notebook computers and wide screen televisions. A typical LCD is composed of two glass substrates between which is a gap that is filled with LC. The arrangement of the LC is controlled by the boundary condition of an alignment film. A long-range orientational interaction causes the preferable alignment of a LC by the surface boundary to extend into the LC bulk. The alignment layer is typically rubbed with a special cloth to induce a unidirectiona… Show more

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] Many materials capable to align liquid crystals (LC) have been discovered lately and used for preparation of alignment layers in LCDs. 7,8 However, the lack of proper materials for photoalignment layers in LCDs is still a serious obstacle for application of this technique in the LCD industry in a broader scale.…”
