Abstract

In this paper, the response surface modeling of the pretilt angle control in the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) on the homogeneous polyimide surface with different surface treatment is investigated The rubbing strength and the hard baking temperature are considered as input factors. After the design of experiments is performed, the process model is then explored using the response surface methodology. The analysis of variance is used to analyze the statistical significance and the effect plots are also investigated to examine the relationship between the process parameters and the response.
