Abstract

We investigated the aligning capabilities for nematic liquid crystal (NLC) using a in-situ photodimerization method on various photopolymer surfaces. High Pretilt angle of the NLC can be measured by obliquely polarized UV exposure of 30$^{\circ}$on a photo-crosslinkable polyimide (PI) based polymer surface for 3 min. The pretilt angle of the NLC generated on the photopolymer surface using the in-situ photodimerization method was higher than that of a blending photopolymers (PI and cinnamate materials).
