We review the important features of LC orientation for the alignment layer, namely,
production method, alignment mechanisms, and required properties. Photoalignment, which …

The authors introduce variable liquid crystal (LC) pretilt angles via ion beam (IB) irradiation
of silicon carbide (SiC) layers of various compositions. To control the composition of the SiC …

In this paper, a 1.8 keV ion beam (IB) sputtered thin layer of aluminum-doped zinc oxide
(AZO) with columnar AZO bumps covering the surface working as an alignment layer for the …

Технология химического осаждения паров (chemical vapor deposition–CVD) с помощью
низкотемпературной плазмы тлеющего разряда является одной из перспективных …

A new method is described for the preparation of silicon oxide layers, which produces
vertical alignment of liquid crystal with controlled pretilt angles, by a reactive filtered cathodic …

Abstract Liquid-crystal (LC)-coated substrates with a planar LC alignment can be fabricated
by UV irradiation during LC coating using a slit coater. The alignment transition from a …

We have studied the liquid crystal (LC) alignment and tilt angle generation of a nematic
liquid crystal (NLC) on a homeotropic polyimide (PI) surface using a new ion beam source …

Nematic liquid crystal (NLC) alignment effects on SiN x thin film layers treated by ion-beam
irradiation for three types of N ratio were successfully studied for the first time. The SiN x thin …

We studied the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) aligning capabilities using the new alignment
material of the silicon carbide (SiC) thin film. The SiC thin film exhibits good chemical and …

A method for liquid crystal surface alignment by using a one-step, ion beam sputtering on
glass substrates is demonstrated. Pre-coating by polyimide is not necessary. We use a …
