Alignment
films for liquid crystals and reactive mesogens
Main Results
number of new
classes of photoaligning polymers is developed [more...]
for the first
time are developed photoaligning polymers on cinnamate base giving LC
alignment
parallel to polarization direction of actinic light [more...]
continuous
variation of LC pretilt angle on photoaligning substrate is realized by
changing concentration of hydrophobic fragments in the polymer
structure [more...]
new alignment
process for liquid crystals and reactive mesogens is developed based on
the
treatment of the aligning film with a collimated beam of accelerated
plasma
(plasma beam etching). Modification of this method for the alignment
treatment
of large area substrates is proposed [more...]
there is proposed
sputtering process producing coatings of inorganic materialsfor LC alignment. This
alignment method is
especially effective for VA LC [more...]
