Homeotropic alignment of liquid crystals (LCs) is one of the key modes used in commercial
liquid crystal displays (LCDs) due to its advantages, such as high contrast ratios and fast …

We propose a novel method to fabricate a uniaxially homogeneous alignment of liquid
crystal (LC) molecules without using a conventional alignment layer such as polyimide film …

ABSTRACT Photoreactive polymers containing 2, 6-bis (benzylidene)-1-cyclohexanone
(bisBC) units were synthesised and investigated as a photoalignment layer for …

We herein propose a multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) doping method into liquid
crystal (LC) alignment polyimides (PIs) with low resistivity for resolving both issues of voltage …

Surface anchoring strength of the alignment layer on liquid crystal (LC) determines electro-
optic characteristics in the LC devices. This paper investigates how azimuthal and polar …

Uniformly aligned liquid crystals (LCs) are of crucial importance in a practical application,
such as displays, phase modulators and virtual reality devices. Although an alignment layer …

Photo-reactive bisazide in a polymer matrix containing acryloyl groups on the side chain
was investigated as a photoalignment layer for polymerizable liquid crystals (PLC). We …

ABSTRACT A novel preparation method of homogeneous alignment polymer film (HAPF)
was proposed by polymerisation of the monomer, 4, 4ʹ-di-methacryloyl-oxy azobenzene (4 …

Photo-reactive polymer of silsesquioxane-containing citraconimide (SQ-CI) was synthesised
and evaluated as a photoalignment layer for polymerisable liquid crystals (PLC). A …

We investigated how surface anchoring strength affects the electro‐optic (EO) characteristics
of a fringe‐field switching (FFS) mode. Unlike IPS mode that only azimuthal anchoring …
