A new photoalignment material PFCPMI, poly[4-(fluorocinnamate)phenylmaleimide], was synthesized and the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) aligning capabilities on the photopolymer surface. The NLC pretilt angle generated by non-UV filter method on the PFCPMI surface was higher than that of the UV filter method. A good LC alignment by non-UV filter method was observed at $150^{\circ}C$ of annealing temperature. However, the alignment defect of the NLC by UV filter method was measured above $150^{\circ}C$ of annealing temperature. Consequently, the high pretilt angle and the good LC alignment in NLC using non-UV filter method can be acheived.
