Photoalignment possesses obvious advantages in comparison with the usually “rubbing” treatment of the substrates of liquid crystal display (LCD) cells
Photoalignment possesses obvious advantages in comparison with the usually “rubbing” treatment of the substrates of liquid crystal display (LCD) cells. The liquid crystal photoalignment is nano-technology, as the thickness of the alignment layer is about 2-15 nm. The application of the photo-alignment and photo-patterning nano technology for the new generation of photonic and display devices wi...
متن کاملEffects of Humidity and Surface on Photoalignment of Brilliant Yellow*
Controlling and optimizing the alignment of liquid crystals is a crucial process for display applications. Here, we investigate the effects of humidity and surface types on photoalignment of an azo-dye brilliant yellow (BY). Specifically, the effect of humidity on the photoalignment of BY was studied at the stage of: substrate storage before coating; during the spin-coating process; between fil...
متن کاملPhotoalignment layers for liquid crystals from the di-π-methane rearrangement.
Photoalignment of nematic liquid crystals is demonstrated using a di-π-methane rearrangement of a designed polymer. The alignment mechanism makes use of the strong coupling of the liquid crystal directors to dibenzobarrelene groups. The large structural changes that accompany photoisomerization effectively passivate segments of the polymer, allowing the remaining dibenzobarrelene groups to domi...
متن کاملHighly sensitive photoalignment of calamitic and discotic liquid crystals assisted by axis-selective triplet energy transfer.
Highly sensitive photoalignment of liquid crystals (LCs) can be realized by axis-selective triplet energy transfer. Addition of a triplet photosensitizer (phosphorescent donor) into a photocrosslinkable polymer tethering E-cinnamate side chains ensures dramatic enhancement of photosensitivity to generate the optical anisotropy of polymer film and surface-assisted LC photoalignment. Photoirradia...
متن کاملHidden photoalignment of liquid crystals in the isotropic phase.
We found the effect of a hidden photoalignment of a dye-doped nematic liquid crystal (LC) on a nonphotosensitive polymer surface after polarized irradiation of the cell in the isotropic phase. We observed that irradiation resulted in a uniform planar orientation of the LC after cooling to the mesophase. The direction of a light-induced easy axis on the polymer can be either parallel or perpendi...
