We investigated new type non-robbing liquid crystal (LC) alignment techniques in the cell with slanted non-polarized ultraviolet (UV) irradiation on polyimide (Pl) film. It is shown that the uniform alignment for nematic (N) LC is obtained by using slanted non-polarized UV irradiation on Pl surface. We successfully obtained that the pretilt ang1e of NLC is generated about 3 degree in the LC cells by using slanted non-polarized UV irradiation with 70 degree on Pl surface. We consider that the pretilt angle generation for NLC is attributed to interaction between the LC molecular and the PI surface. We conclude that the uniform LC alignment is attributed to anisotropic dispersion force effect due to photo depolymerization of polymer on Pl surface.

In this study, we investigated the electro-optical (EO) characteristic of fringe-field switching (FFS) mode cell by the two kinds of ultraviolet (UV) alignment method on the organic thin film (polyimide Pl). The suitable organic layers for FFS cell and the aligning capabilities of nematic liquid crystal (NLC) using the in-situ photo-alignment method were studied. An unstable V-T curve of UV-aligned FFS-LCD with conventional photo-alignment method can be achieved. However, a stable V-T curve of UV-aligned FFS-LCD with in-situ photo-alignment method (1h), and V-T curve of UV-aligned FFS-LCD with in-situ photo-alignment method was much stable comparing with that of other UV-aligned FFS-LCD's, As a result, more stable EO performance of UV-aligned FFS-LCD with in-Situ photo-alignment method is obtained than that of the other UV-aligned FFS-LCD's.

The electro-optical characteristics of photo-aligned vertical-alignment (VA)-liquid crystal display (LCD) with non-polarized ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation of 45\`on homeotropic polyimide (Pl) surface were investigated. LC alignment on photo-aligned VA-LCD is attributed to photo-depolymerized reaction of the polymer with non-polarized UV light irradiation on PI surface. We had good voltage-transmittance (V-T) characteristics of photo-aligned VA-LCD. The response time of photo-aligned VA-LCD was slower than that of the rubbing-aligned VA-LCD. Finally, we suggest that the slow response time of photo-aligned VA-LCD depends on the LC domain.

In this paper, we developed the new non-rubbing liquid crystal (LC) alignment techniques in the cell with slanted non-polarized ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation on polyimide (PI) film. It is shown that the uniform alignment for nematic (N) LC is obtained by using slanted non-polarized UV light irradiation on PI surface. We successfully obtained that the pretilt angle of NLC is generated about 3.3 degree in the cell with slanted non-polarized UV light irradiation with 70 degree on PI surface, for the first time. It is considered that the pretilt angle generation in NLC is attributed to interaction between the LC molecular and the PI, which is broken the polymer by slanted non-polarized UV irradiation. Therefore, we concluded that the uniform LC alignment is attributed to anisotropic dispersion force due to photo depolymerization with slanted non-polarized UV light irradiation on PI surface.

A surface-assisted photo-control of the liquid crystal (LC) alignment has been achieved by modifying the topmost surface of the polyimide film with photo-reactive molecules. Recently, photo-alignment technique using a thin film of poly(vinyl cinnamates) have been reported. However their commercial potentiality is limited by their low thermal stability. To enhance thermal stability, we synthesized the chalcone derivatives as the photo-reactive molecules and introduced the materials on the surface-modified polyimide film.. We identified that the photo-chemical reaction of the chalcone derivatives occur in few minutes with irradiation of UV light. The photo-alignment characteristics of the modified polyimide films treated by polarized UV light and their LC cells are investigated as a function of exposure dose.

We investigated the generation of pretilt angle for nematic liquid crystal (NLC) in a cell with slanted non-polarized ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation on mixtured polyimide (PI) surfaces. It was found that the monodomain alignment of NLC is obtained in a cell with an angle of incidence of 75∼85 degrees on PI surface. We consider that the monodomain alignment of NLC is attributed to anisotropic dispersion force effect due to photo-depolymerization of polymer on Pl surfaces. We successfully observed that the pretilt angle of NLC is generated above 5 degree with an angle of incidence of 75∼85 degree. It is considered that the pretilt angle generation in NLC is attributed to interaction between the LC molecules and the Polymer surfaces.

Maxwell-displacement-current (MDC) measuring technique has been applied for the investigation of monolayers of poly(vinyl alcohol)s bearing azobenzene side-chains (6Az5PVA) mixed with p-pentyl-p'-cyano-biphenyls (5CBs) on a water surface. For mixed monolayers containing trans-form 6Az5PVA and LCs, displacement current due to photo isomerization was not generated with alternative photo-irradiation with UV and svisible light. In contrast, for mixed monolaters containing cis-form 6Az5PVA and LCs, displacement current was generated. Finally, it was found that the alignment layers deposited in cis-form could photoregualte the orientation of LCs.

신나모일 그룹의 광배향 메커니즘과 공정 조건들과의 관계를 이해하기 위하여 폴리(실록산 신나메이트) (PSCN)를 이용한 광배향 연구를 진행하였다. DSC와 편광현미경 실험에서 PSCN의 등방성 온도는 $105^{\circ}C$ 이상이었으며 액정 온도 구간에서 한 번 배열된 분자들은 저온이나 고온의 등방성 온도 구간에서도 없어지지 않는 열안정성을 보였다. UV/Vis 흡수 실험을 통해서는 광이량화 반응이 주된 광배향 반응이며 신나모일기가 스스로 배열되는 경향이 강하여 광이량화 반응의 효율을 높이는데 기여하지만 광조사가 지나칠 경우 경쟁 관계에 있는 photo-fries 반응이 증가하여 오히려 광배향 성질이 떨어짐을 알 수 있었다. 한편, photo-fries 반응은 UV의 파장을 조절하여 억제할 수 있었다.

We prepared the blend alignment layers made from coumarin based photopolymer and polyimides for liquid crystal(LC) alignment using linearly polarized ultraviolet(UV) exposure. The alignment properties of LC were found to depend on the type of polyimide in the blend alignment layers. The degree of photereaction of polyimide was important factor for LC alignment direction on the blend alignment layers.

광분해형 CBDA-ODA 폴리이미드의 배향막에 대하여 선편광(LPUV) 조사와 이후의 열처리가 배향막, 액정 배향 그리고 LCD 특성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대하여 조사하였다. 가장 우수한 액정 배향은 배향막의 이방성을 최대로 발생시키는 광조사 에너지보다 상당히(약 5~10배) 작은 양의 광조사에 의하여 유도되었다. 광조사에 이후에 이어지는 배향막에 대한 열처리는 광분해 반응에 의하여 배향막 표면에 형성된 저분자 부산물들을 효과적으로 제거함과 동시에 광조사된 배향막을 안정화시킴으로써 액정의 배향성과 LCD의 전기적 특성을 향상시키는 결과를 가져왔다.
