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.

The new phto-alignment material PMI5CA, poly{N-(phenyl)maleimide-co-3-[4-(pentyloxy) cinamate]porpyl-2-hydroxy-1-methacrylate}, was synthesized and the electro-optical (EO)characteristics in the vertical-aligned(VA) liquid crystal display (LCD) photo-aligned on the photopolymer surface were studied. Excellent Voltage-transmittance(V-T) characteristics in the VA-LCD photoaligned with polarized UV exposure of oblique direction on the pohotopolymer surface for 1 min can be achieve. The transmittance of the VA-LCD photoaligned on the photopolymer surface decreased with increasing UV exposure time. We suggest that decrease of transmittance in the VA-LCD photoaligned on the photopolymer surface is attributed to the dissociation of the ester linkage in the photodimerized cinnamate structure with increasing UV exposure time.

We synthesized the two types of photoalignment material of high thermal resistance with hydroxyl aromatic polyimide, and studied the liquid crystal (LC) aligning capabilities on the photopolymer layers. Also, electro-optical (EO) performances for the twisted-nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) photoaligned with linearly polarized UV exposure were investigated. A good LC alignment with UV exposure on the two types of photopolymer surface can be obtained. The Voltage-transmittance (V-T) curve in the photoaligned TN cell with UV exposure was different from two type. The response time of photoaligned TN cell was measured about 21 ms in two alkyl chain and about 15 ms in four alkyl chain.

Also, electro-optical (EO) performances for the twisted-nematic (TN)-liquid crystal display (LCD) photoaligned with linearly polarized UV exposure were investigated. A good LC alignment with UV exposure on the photopolymer surface can be obtained. However, the low pretilt angles were obtained below 1$^{\circ}$. The Voltage-transmittance (V-T) curve without backflow bounce in the photoaligned TN cell with UV exposure was observed. The response time of photoaligned TN cell was measured about 24 ms. Finally, The photoaligned TN cell has few hysteresis, and shows the residual DC voltage that is less.

The mechanisms of pretilt angle generation for a nematic liquid cystal (NLC) using a photodimerization method with obliquely polarized UV exposure on the various new photo-crosslinkable polymer were studied. A good thermal stability of all the photo-crosslinkable polymers was obtained by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) measurement until 450$\^{C}$. High pretilt angle of the NLC was observed by polarized UV exposure on the three kinds of the photo-crosslinkable polymers containing biphenyl(BP), decyl(de), and cholesteryl(chol) group, respectively. However, the low pretilt angle of the NLC was measured by obliquely polarized UV exposure on the two kinds of the photo-crosslinkable polymers containing fluorine and chalcone group. Consequently, the high NLC angle generated is attributable to the biphenyl and alkyl moieties, and photo-dimerized chalcone group of the photopolymer.

We synthesized a new photo-crosslinkable polymer (polyimide (PI)-chalcone-biphenyl (BP)) and liquid crystal (LC) aligning capabilities for nematic (N) LC with obliquely polarized UV exposure on a photo-crosslinkable polymer were studied. The high pretilt angle in NLC was obtained by polarized UV exposure on a PI-Chal-BP surface for 3 min. The high pretilt angle generated in NLC is attributed to the biphenyl moieties and the photo-dimerized chalclone group of a photopolymer. Also, good thermal stability of a PI-Chal-BP were obtained by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) measurement until 450$^{\circ}C$. Finally, good voltage-transmittance curves and response time were observed by UV exposure on a PI-Chal-BP surface for 3min.

We synthesized a photo-crosslinkable polymide (polymide (PI)-chalcone-biphenyl (BP)) based polymer and control of pretilt angle for a nematic liquid crystal (NLC) using two kinds of the photodimerization methods by polarized UV exposure the photopolymer surfaces was studied. Pretilt angle of the NLCs using a conventional photodimerization method could be varied between 0$^{\circ}$ and 3$^{\circ}$, by controlling the condition of UV exposure. Pretilt angle of the NLCs using the conventional photodimerization method was higher than a in-situ photodimerization method.

Effects of liquid crystal (LC) alignment using a in-situ photoalignment method by polarized UV exposure on a polyimide (PI) surface with medium side chain were studied. The generated pretilt angle in nematic(N) LC using a in-situ photoalignment method was smaller than that of a conventional photoalignment method for short UV exposure time. Also, the pretilt angle of NLC using a in-situ photoalignment method increases with increasing UV exposure time on the PI surfaces. Finally, the pretilt angle of NLC can be improved by annealing treatment.

In this study, the response surface modeling of the pretilt angle control using in-situ photoalignment method with oblique UV exposure .on plastic substrate is investigated. The pretilt angle is the main factor to determine the alignment of the liquid crystal display. The response surface model is used to analyze the variation of the pretilt angle on the various process conditions. Heating temperature and UV exposure time are considered as input factors. The liquid crystal (LC) pretilt angle increased with increasing heating temperature and UV exposure time. 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.
