- 論文の詳細を見る
Homeotropic and planar alignments of liquid crystals have been realized on a photopolymer-coated surface that originally showed no preferred alignment, by irradiating it with polarized and unpolarized UV-light. The photoalignment regulation on the photo-polymer coated surface has been found to be critically dependent on the dosage and state of polarization of the UV-light. A uniform homeotropic alignment is produced when the dosage of the linearly polarized UV-light ranges between 0.1-0.8 J/cm^2 and a planar alignment is produced when the UV-energy ≥ 3 J/cm^2. Irradiating the photopolymer film with unpolarized light also resulted in homeotropic alignment. Both types of the alignment have been found to be stable with time and temperature.
