  • 러빙한 고분자 필름이 액정 분자와 증착된 분자의 배향을 유도하는 메커니즘을 이해하고자 $\pi$ 전자들의 공액구조가 주사슬과 곁사슬에 각각 있는 polyimide와 polyyinylcinnamate를 사용하여 필름과 LC 셀을 만들어 편광 UV/Vis 분광실험으로 조사하였다. 러빙한 필름 내에 형성되는 이방성, LC 셀의 액정 방향자, 그리고 종착된 pentacene의 배열방향을 측정하여, 액정배향은 microgroove 영향보다는 분자간 상호작용에 의하여 우선적으로 유도되는 반면에 pentacene 증착의 경우에는 러빙에 의하여 형성된 필름 표면의 microgroove 영향으로 배향이 유도되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

  • A novel nematic liquid crystal (LC) cell with splay structure exhibiting wide viewing angle, fast response time and high transmittance at the same time has been developed. With rubbed homeotropic alignment in parallel directions, the device shows bend alignment in the absence of vertical electric field. However, with applied high voltage in a pulse form, the LC shows a optically compensated splay (OCS) orientation such that the mid-director is parallel to a substrate and at both surfaces the LCs are aligned vertically in parallel direction. In the device, the birefringence of the cell becomes tunable with applying voltage, i.e., the amount of light passed through the cell can be controlled by controlling the orientation of the LC. Since the OCS cell has a self-compensation structure such that the LC has a mirror symmetry along the mid-director, the device shows a wide viewing angle with only a single domain and a fast response time.

  • Orientation of E7 liquid crystals(LCs) confined to 200 nm-diameter cylindrical cavities of Anodisc membranes are investigated by FTIR dichroism techniques. The cavity walls of the confining pores are chemically modified with different perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PCA, $C_nF_{2n+1}$COOH, n=3, 4, 5, 6). From the FTIR spectra of PCA treated alumina Anodsic membranes, we found the salt formation between -COOH group of PCA and Anodisc membrane. From the FTIR spectra of LC filled Anodisc membranes, we found abrupt alignment direction change of LC molecules between n=4 and 5 for 1 mM PCA treated Anodisc membranes, from parallel to perpendicular direction to the cavity walls. But 5mM PCA treated Anodisc membranes, alignment direction of LC molecules changed between n=3 and n=4, from parallel to perpendicular direction.

  • Orientation of E7 liquid crystals (LCs) confined to 200 nm-diameter cylindrical cavities of Anodisc membranes are investigated by FTIR dichroism techniques. The cavity walls of the confining pores are chemically modified with different aliphatic acids ($C_nH_{2n+1}COOH$, n=5, 6, 7, 9). From the FTIR spectra of aliphatic acid treated alumina Anodsic membranes, we found the salt formation between -COOH group of aliphatic acid and Anodisc membrane. From the FTIR spectra of LC filled Anodisc membranes, we found abrupt alignment direction change of LC molecules between n=6 and 7 for 2% aliphatic acid treated Anodisc membranes, from parallel to perpendicular direction to the cavity walls. But 4% aliphatic acid treated Anodisc membranes, alignment direction of LC molecules changed between n=5 and n=6, from parallel to perpendicular direction. The same trend was observed for $^2H-NMR$ measurements.

  • Cinnamate group is well-known for the dimerization reaction by ultra-violet irradiation and cinnamate polymers are studied for photo-alignment materials. The cinnamate groups of flexible polymer are found to produce LC alignment parallel to polarization direction of ultra-violet light, which is contrary to the LC orientation on conventional cinnamate polymers. The un-reacted cinnamate groups in the flexible polymer are also found to participate in cycloadducts formation by additional thermal reaction that preserves the orientation of cycloadducts, leading to the enhancement of thermal stability of LC alignment.

  • To elucidate the liquid crystal(LC) molecules alignment mechanism, it is important to determine the molecular orientation of the rubbed polymer surface molecules that directly contact with LC molecules. In this work, the molecular orientation on a rubbed surface of polyimide (SE-3310, Nissan) film has been studied by polarized FTIR absorption spectroscopy. It has been found that molecular chain on the rubbed surface of polymide film are oriented along the rubbing direction and are tilted up on an average by 5.0$^{\circ}$. In the SHG(Second Harmonic Generation) measurement, the pretilt angle of molecular chain on the poylmide fim was 4.6$^{\circ}$ fro, the surface plane. And the pedit angle of liquid crystal (ZLI-2293, Merck) molecules measured by crystal rotation method was 5.4$^{\circ}$in the same rubbing condition.

  • 본 연구에서는 이온빔을 조사한 폴리스타일렌 기판에 일정강도의 이온빔을 조사한 경우에 발생되는 액정배향의 특성에 대해서 연구하였다. 폴리스타일렌은 기계적강도 및 절연성에서 액정표시소자의 배향막으로 사용되는 폴리이미드 계열의 대체 물질로서 주목받고 있으며, 특히 비접촉 배향에서의 가능성이 새롭게 평가되고 있는 소재이다. 이온빔을 조사하여 이방성을 발생시킨 박막의 표면에서의 액정배향상태를 편광현미경으로 관찰하고, 액정배향에 기여한 메커니즘의 규명을 위해서 XPS(X-ray photoelectron spetroscopy) 분석을 사용하였다. 분석한 결과 15초까지의 이온빔 조사는 액정의 배향을 유발하는 중요한 원인으로 작용함을 알 수 있었으며, 이온빔조사에 의한 액정의 배향방법은 고온안정성도 겸비하고 있는 것을 실험을 통해서 알 수 있었다.

  • The grain size and growth direction of a directionally solidified turbine blade were evaluated by the initial nucleation condition at the start block of directional solidification. The initial nucleation condition was controlled by inserting a Ni foil on the directional solidification plate of the directional solidification furnace. Fine grains with good orientation were obtained in the faster cooling condition at the start block. The nucleus number was compared with the cooling rate of the start block by electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD). DSC (differential scanning calorimeter) analysis was performed to compare the melting point and undercooling for nucleation of the coarse nuclei and fine nuclei of the start block. The faster cooling condition at the start block showed more undercooling for nucleation and smaller size of nuclei which resulted in a fine grain with good orientation in the directional turbine blade.

  • Cinnamate groups are well-known for a dimerization reaction upon exposure to ultraviolet irradiation and a thermal reaction after being heated. In this study, to verify the thermal reaction of the cinnamate group in detail, we investigated the thermal crosslinking of cinnamate oligomers. The thermal reaction of cinnamate oligomers of low molecular weight is induced more readily by thermal energy compared with that of cinnamate polymers. The orientation of the liquid crystal depended on the length of the spacers in the cinnamate oligomers.

  • 본 연구에서는 액정의 수직배향을 달성하기 위해서 특별히 제조된 폴리스타일렌 박막에 다양한 이온빔을 조사하는 방법을 사용하였다. 일반적으로 폴리스타일렌 수지는 통상의 폴리이미드 계열의 수지에 비해서 박막코팅을 하였을 때 보다 우수한 투과율을 나타내므로, 투과형 디스플레이로 사용되는 LCD의 배향막 재료로 더 적합하다고 생각되었다. 특히 고휘도이면서 저전력 사양을 달성하여야 하는 휴대용 디스플레이에서의 응용가능성이 기대되었다. 그러나, 일반적인 러빙법에 의한 배향처리에 대해서는 액정분자의 배향성이 폴리이미드 계열의 재료에 비해서 열등하여 사용되지 못하였다. 본 연구에서는 폴리스타일렌 계열의 박막재료를 배향막으로 가공함에 있어서 새로운 이온빔 조사법에 의한 비접촉식 배향법을 사용하였으며, 배향성과 액정분자의 프리틸트각 특성에 대해서 정량적인 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 실험에서는 폴리스타일렌 수지에 이온빔의 조사시간을 15초까지 변화시키면서 액정분자의 배향성 및 프리틸트각의 특성을 측정하였다. 측정결과 스마트폰 및 휴대용 정보단말기 등의 디스플레이에 적합한 고투과율 액정표시소자의 구현이 가능하였다.
