초록

We studied the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) aligning capabilities using the new alignment material of diamond like carbon (DLC) thin film. A high pretilt angle of about 4$^{\circ}$ was measured by ion beam(IB) exposure on the DLC thin film surface. A good LC alignment was observed by the IB alignment method on the DLC thin film surface at annealing temperature of 200$^{\circ}C$, and the alignment defect of the NLC was observed above annealing temperature of 220$^{\circ}C$ . Consequently, the high NLC pretilt angle and the good thermal stability of LC alignment can be achieved by the IB alignment method on the DLC thin film surface.
