Rubbed polyimide films have been widely used as liquid crystal alignment films for liquid crystal displays. Washing after rubbing is essential to fabricate liquid crystal displays, and should affect alignment of liquid crystal as well as rubbing. We investigated the effects of rubbing condition and soaking in acetone on polyimide films by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction. It was found that soaking in acetone promoted crystallization of surface aligned polymers, and that the crystallization by acetone was dependent on the initial polymer alignment. The larger initial crystalline phase was, the more newly crystallization occurred by soaking. It was also revealed that the crystallization by soaking in acetone was completed within 1min.
