We have developed a new multidomain vertical-alignment (MVA) mode using a homeotropic photopolymer that provides a wider viewing angle for nematic liquidcrystal (NLC) with negative dielectric anisotropy. Good voltage-transmittance curves for he new MVA cell using the homeotropic photopolymer were observed. The viewing angle of the new MVA cell using the homeotropic photopolymer was wider than that of the conventional VA cell. The wide viewing angle using the new MVA cell is attributable to 4-domain by the ribs with UV exposure on the photopolymer.

The electro-optical (EO) characteristics for the twisted-nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) photo-aligned with polarized UV exposure on various blending photopolymer surfaces were investigated. Excellent LC alignment and voltage-transmittance (V-T) characteristics for TN-LCD photo-aligned with polarized UV exposure of normal incidence on the blending Photopolymer (polyimide (PI) + PM4Ch (poly(4-methacryloyloxy chalcone))) surface containing chalcone group can be achieved. The EO performances of the TN-LCD photo-aligned on the blending photopolymer can be improved due to the photosensitivity by long side chain of the photopolymer.

From UV irradiation, we achieved homeotropic liquid crystal alignment on blended photo-polymer layer which is composed of polyvinyl-cinnamate (PVCi) and homeotropic polyimide (PI). From vertical alignment (VA) mode, we measured threshold voltages by various PVCi doping concentration. Also, the rise time and fall time of VA cells were measured to verify the best doping concentration. Transmittance curves showed about 70% value between 380 nm and 780 nm wavelength which mean visible region.

We designed and fabricated a monocolor holographic reflector for reflective LCDs with DuPont holographic photopolymer as a holographic recording media. By recording at 514 nm as holographic operating wavelength, it was possible to get the brightest image in green color. High contrast ratio is possible due to misalignment of the images with surface reflection and we achieved on/off contrast ratio of 6:1 by applying the fabricated holographic reflector to a TN-LC cell.

Controlling the cure depth of the Fa1260T photopolymer enhances the quality of a microstructure and minimizes its size in microstereolithography. In this work, variation of cure depth of the Fa1260T photopolymer is investigated while the concentration of a photopolymerization inhibitor as a radical quencher was varied. The energy source inducing photopolymerization was a He-Cd laser and a motorized stage controled the laser beam path accurately. The effects of process variables such as laser beam power and scan speed on the cure depth were examined. Optimum conditions for the minimum cure depth were determined as laser power of 230 W and scan speed of 40-50 m/s at the concentration of the radical quencher of 5％. The minimum cure depth at the optimal condition was 14 m. The feasibility of the fabrication of microstructures such as a microcup, microfunnel, and microgrid of 100 m size is demonstrated using Super IH process.

Synthesis of a new copoly (M4Ch-ChMA), copoly ((4-methacryloyloxy) chalcone-cholestery methacrylate), with chalconyl and cholesterol moiety characteristics for photoalignment materials was investigated. Good thermal stabilities of the synthesized copolymers are confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) measurement. The pretilt angles of the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) are reduced as UV exposure time is increased on the copolymer surfaces. A pretilt angle of 81$^{\circ}$in NLC was observed with UV exposure of 3 min on the copolymer-3 surface. The NLCs pretilt angle is attributable to increased chalcone with increasing the UV exposure time.
