Electro-optical (EO) performances of the ion beam (IB) aligned twisted-nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) with ion beam exposure on the new diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin film surface were investigated. A good voltage-transmittance (V-T) curve of the ion beam aligned TN-LCD with oblique ion beam exposure on the DLC thin film surface for 1 min was observed. Also, the fast response time of the ion beam aligned TN-LCD with oblique ion beam exposure on the DLC thin film surface for 1 min can be achieved. Finally, the residual DC voltage of the ion beam aligned TN-LCD on the DLC thin film surface is almost the same as that of the rubbing aligned TN-LCD on a polyimide (Pl) surface.

We investigated the EO performances of the UV aligned twisted nematic liquid crystal display (TN-LCD) with the UV exposure on a-C:H thin film surface. LC alignment using UV exposure on the a-C:H thin film surface was achieved. Monodomain alignment of the UV aligned TN-LCD can be observed. An good EO characteristics of the UV aligned TN-LCD was observed with oblique ion beam exposure on the a-C:H thin film surface. Therefore, the EO property of the UV-aligned TN-LCD with UV exposure on the a-C:H thin film surface is almost the same as that of the rubbing-aligned TN-LCD on a polyimide (PI) surface.

We demonstrate here a self-aligned printing approach that allows downscaling of printed organic thin-film transistors to channel lengths of 100 - 400 nm. A perfected down-scaled polymer transistors (L= 200 nm) showing high transition frequency over 1.5 Mhz were realized with thin polymer dielectrics, controlling contact resistance, and minimizing overlap capacitance via self-aligned gate configuration.

Electro-optical (EO) performances of the ion beam aligned twisted nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) with oblique ion beam exposure on the DLC thin film surface were studied. An excellent voltage-transmittance (VT) curve of the ion beam aligned TN-LCD was observed with oblique ion beam exposure on the DLC thin film surface for 1 min. Also, a faster response time for the ion beam aligned TN-LCD can be achieved with oblique ion beam exposure on the DLC thin film surface for 1 min can be achieved.

We studied the control of pretilt angles for homeotropic aligned nematic liquid crystal (NLC) on SiOx thin film surface by $45^{\circ}$ evaporation method with electron beam system. The uniform vertical LC alignment on. the SiOx thin film surfaces with electron beam evaporation was achieved. It is considered that the LC alignment on SiOx thin film by $45^{\circ}$ electron beam evaporation is attributed to elastic interaction between LC molecules and micro-grooves at the SiOx thin film surface created by evaporation. The pretilt angles of about $3.5^{\circ}$ in aligned NLC on SiOx thin film surfaces by electron beam evaporation of $45^{\circ}$ were measured. Consequently, the high pretilt angles of the NLC on the SiOx thin film by $45^{\circ}$ oblique electron beam evaporation method can be achieved.

We present a useful and practical manufacturing technique that enables the structural conversion of delicate as-grown nanostructures to more beneficial and robust thin-film frameworks through controlled mechanical rolling. Functional nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes grown through chemical vapor deposition in a vertically aligned and very loosely packed manner, and thus difficult to manipulate for subsequent uses, can be prepared in an array of thin blades by patterning the growth catalyst layer. They can then be toppled as dominos through precisely controlled mechanical rolling. The nanostructures formulated to horizontally aligned thin films are much more favorable for device applications typically based on thin-film configuration. The proposed technique may broaden the functionality and applicability of as-grown nanostructures by converting them into thin-film frameworks that are easier to handle and more durable and favorable for fabricating thin-film devices for electronics, sensors, and other applications.

In this paper, we investigate fringe-field switching (FFS) mode cell by the ion beam (IB) alignment method on the a-C:H thin film, to analyze electro-optical characteristics in this cell. We studied on the suitable inorganic thin film for fringe-field switching (FFS) cell and the aligning capabilities of nematic liquid crystal (NLC) using the new alignment material of a-C:H thin film An excellent voltage-transmittance (V-T) and response time curve of the IB-aligned FFS-LCD was observed with oblique IB exposure on the DLC thin films. Also, AC V-T hysteresis characteristics of the IB-aligned FFS-LCD with IB exposure on the DLC thin films is almost the same as that of the rubbing-aligned FFS cell on a polyimide (PI) surface.

LC aligning capabilities and the variation of pretilt angles with ion beam irradiation on the a-C:H thin films, and electro-optical (EO) performances of the ion beam aligned twisted nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) with oblique ion beam exposure on the a-C:H thin film were studied. A high pretilt angle of $3.5{^{\circ}}$ via ion beam irradiation on the a-C:H thin film was measured. Also, the LC pretilt angle decreased due to the increase in surface roughness at over 2 min of IB exposure time. It is considered that this roughness increase due to increasing IB exposure time that generated destroy of oriented rings of atoms related to LC alignment. An excellent voltage-transmittance (V-T) curve of the ion beam aligned TN-LCD was observed with oblique ion beam exposure on the a-C:H thin film for 1 min. Also, a faster response time for the ion beam aligned TN-LCD with oblique ion beam exposure on the a-C:H thin film for 1 min can be achieved. Finally, the residual DC property of the ion beam aligned TN-LCD with ion beam exposure of 1 min on the a-C:H thin film is almost same as that of the rubbing aligned TN-LCD on a PI surface.
