We synthesized a new copoly (PM4Ch-ChMA) copoly(poly(4-methacryloyloxy) chalcone-cholesteryl methacrylate) having chalconyl and cholesteryl moiety for homeotropic liquid crystal(LC) alignment. Pretilt angles of nematic(N) LC generated by linearly polarized UV exposure on the copolymer surfaces were investigated. Good thermal stabilities of the synthesized copolymer were obtained by TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis) measurement. Pretilt angles of the NLC decreased with increasing UV exposure time on the copolymer surfaces. We consider that the pretilt angle of the NLC is attributed to increased chalcone by increased UV exposure time. High pretilt angle of the NLC is attributed to increased chalcone by increased UV exposure time. High pretilt angle of 81$^{\circ}$was observed after the UV exposure for 3 min.

Synthesis of a new copoly (M4Ch-ChMA), copoly ((4-methacryloyloxy) chalcone-cholestery methacrylate), with chalconyl and cholesteryl 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.

A new photo-polymer material of the copoly (PM4Ch-ChMA), copoly (poly (4-methacryloyloxy)chalcone-cholesteryl methacrylate) for homeotropic alignment was synthesized and the electro-optical (EO) performance for the photo-aligned vertical-aligned (VA)-LC display (LCD) was studied. Good thermal stabilities of synthesized copolymer were obtained by TGA(Thermogravimetric Analysis) measurement. Good voltage-transmittance (V-T) and response time characteristics for the photo-aligned VA-LCD with polarized UV exposure in oblique direction($\theta$$_{i}$=30$^{\circ}$) on a copolymer-1 (2%) surfaces for 1 min were observed. but, light leakage in the off-state was observed. Therefore, we achieved excellent V-T and response time characteristics for the photo-aligned VA-LCD with UV exposure on a copolymer-3 (30%) surfaces for 3 min.n.

A new photo-alignment material, copoly (PM4Ch-ChMA), copoly (poly (4-methacryloyloxy) chalcone-chalconemethacryl) was synthesized and the electro-optical (EO) characteristics for the photo-aligned vertically aligned (VA)-LC display (LCD) were investigated. The monodomain alignment of the NLC for the photo-aligned VA-LCD by linearly polarized UV exposure on the photo-dimerized copoly (PM4Ch-ChMA) surfaces was observed. Excellent voltage-transmittance characteristics for the photo-aligned VA-LCD by UV exposure for 1 min. on the copoly (PM4Ch-ChMA) surfaces were achieved. The response time of the photo-aligned VA-LCD by UV exposure on for 1 min. the copoly (PM4Ch-ChMA) surfaces was about 39.3 ms. The response time for the photo-aligned VA-LCD decreased with increasing UV exposure time.

A photopolymer, copoly (M4Ch-ChMA), copoly ((4-methacryloyloxy) chalcone-cholesteryl methacrylate), was synthesized in this study. The electro-optical (EO) characteristics for the photo-aligned vertical-alignment (VA)-liquid crystal display (LCD) were investigated. Excellent voltage-transmittance curves for the VA-LCD photo-aligned by polarized UV exposure on the copoly (M4Ch-ChMA) surface were observed. The response time for the photo-aligned VA-LCD decrease with increasing UV exposure time. consequently, the photo-dimerized chalcone moiety increased with increasing UV exposure time, which then contributed to a low response time for the VA-LCD photo-aligned.
