Abstract

We have developed a series of fluorinated dimethacrylate copolymers. Our work has covered the synthesized derivatives of alignment materials, characterized the pretilt angle and uniformity of liquid crystal alignment layer. The pretilt angle can be tailored by using the fluorinated copolymer. Excellent uniformity was achieved as shown in experimental results.
