Abstract

The tilt angle generation of nematic liquid crystal(NLC) on the homeotropic polyimide(PI) surface by the new Ion beam alignment method is studied. The tilt angle of NLC on the homeotropic PI surface for all incident angle is about 38and this has a stabilization trend. And the good LC alignment of the NLC on the PI surface by ion beam exposure of 45Incident angle was observed. Also the tilt angle of NLC on the homeotropic PI surface by ion beam exposure of 45Incident angle had a tendency to decrease as ion beam energy density increase. So we had known that pretilit angle could be controlled from verticality to horizontality.
