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.

편광 푸리에 변환 적외선 분광법을 이용하여 액정 디스플레이의 배향막으로 널리 사용되는 폴리이미드 필름의 편광 자외선 조사에 따른 액정의 배향성과 열적 안정성을 연구하였다. 편광자외선이 조사된 폴리이미드의 경우, 조사된 편광자외선의 극성 방향에 평행한 폴리이미드 분자들의 우선적인 광분해 반응으로 인하여 편광자외선 조사 후 남아 있는 폴리이미드 분자들은 조사된 편광자외선 극성 방향과 수직 배향을 나타내었다. 하지만 러빙 처리된 폴리이미드 필름은 러빙 방향과 평행하게 폴리이미드 분자들의 재배향이 유도됨을 확인하였다. 또한 편광자외선이 조사된 폴리이미드 배향막이 편광자외선 조사를 통한 폴리이미드 분자들의 단편화 반응 때문에 러빙 처리된 폴리이미드 배향막 보다는 열적 안정성이 저하됨을 확인하였다.

In this paper, the viewing angle characteristics of amorphous (a) - twisted nematic (TN) - liquid crystal display (LCD) on poly(viny)cirmamate (PVC) alignment surfaces were investigated. It was found that the threshold voltage is increased with increasing the polymerization on PVC surfaces. We suggest that the threshold voltage is affected to the surface anchoring strength with increasing the polymerization of the alignment film. Also, we obtained that the viewing angle of a-TN-LCD is increased with increasing the polymerization on PVC surfaces. Finally, we considered that the viewing angle of a-TN-LCD on PVC surfaces is large compared to TN-LCD on rubbed polyimide (Pl) surface.

편광 푸리에 변환 적외선 분광법과 자외선 분광법을 이용하여 액정 display (LCD)의 배향막으로 널리 사용되는 폴리이미드 (PI) 필름의 편광 자외선 (PUV) 조사에 따른 액정의 배향 메카니즘을 연구하였다. UV 측정 결과, PI 필름은 360 nm 이하 파장의 자외선을 주로 흡수하여 광화학 반응이 유도됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한, PUV가 조사된 PI의 경우, PI 분자들의 분해로 인해 FT-IR 흡수 피크들의 강도가 조사시간에 따라 감소하였고, $3244 cm^{-1}$ 부근에서 완만한 곡선 형태의 새로운 피크가 형성되었다. 또한 조사된 PUV의 극성 방향에 평행한 PI 분자들의 우선적인 광분해 반응으로 인하여 PUV 조사 후 남아 있는 PI 분자들은 조사된 PUV 극성 방향과 수직 배향을 나타내었다. 하지만 러빙 처리된 PI 필름은 러빙 방향과 평행하게 PI 분자들의 재배향이 유도됨을 확인하였다. 또한 러빙 처리 및 PUV가 조사된 PI 배향막을 차용하여 제조된 액정 셀에서는 액정이 러빙 방향에 대해서는 평행하게, 조사된 PUV의 극성방향과는 수직으로 배향함을 확인하였다.

고분자의 주사슬에 광반응을 할 수 있는 phenyldiacryloyl 그룹을 가지고, 곁사슬에 액정분자와 비슷한 메조겐인 biphenyl을 에테르 결합을 통해서 도입된 가용성 광반응성 폴리아미드를 합성하였다. 합성된 폴리아미드 고분자는 0.65 dL/g의 대수점도를 가지며, 일반적인 코팅 방법으로 여러 기질의 표면에 잘 도포되는 성질을 보였다. 광반응성 폴리아미드 고분자의 화학 구조는 $^1H$ NMR과 Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy를 이용해서 확인하였다. 합성된 고분자의 유리전이온도는 $150^{\circ}C$까지 관측되지 않았으며, 열분해 온도는 $280^{\circ}C$로 관측되어, 열안정성이 높음을 확인하였다. 합성된 폴리아미드 고분자 박막을 비편광된 자외선을 노광시켜 노광하는 에너지에 따른 변화를 조사했을 때, 좋은 광반응성을 보였다. 광반응성 폴리아미드를 이용하여 선편광된 자외선을 노광하여 제작한 액정 셀 내에서, 액정분자들은 노광된 선편광 자외선의 electric vector 방향의 수직으로 배향되는 것이 관측되었으며, 이러한 현상은 선편광 자외선의 노광량에는 무관함을 보였다. 액정 셀 내에서 액정분자들의 pretilt angle은 선편광된 자외선의 노광량에 따라 약간의 차이를 보이며 $0.2^{\circ}$에서 $0.5^{\circ}$사이의 값을 보였다.

This paper describes the out-of-plane order of a liquid crystalline(LC) methacrylate copolymer(3) comprised of a methacrylate(1) with a 4-styrylpyridine moiety as the photo-cyclodimerizable group and a benzoate moiety as the mesogenic group in the side chain, and another methacrylate(2) with a 4-(4-methoxyphenyl)benzoate moiety as the mesogenic group. The composition of 1 and 2 units in 3 was estimated to have a molar ratio of 54.2:45.8 by $^{1}H$ NMR spectroscopy. The X-ray diffraction study revealed that the copolymer forms a partial bilayer smectic structure. The copolymer gave rise to a high out-of-plane order parameter of about 0.74 in a wide LC temperature range of $110{\sim}160^{\circ}C$ after linearly polarized, UV light irradiation and subsequent annealing. Moreover, the external reflection IR analysis indicated that excess UV-light irradiation makes the out-of-plane LC structure of the copolymer appear in a higher and wider temperature range.

The generation of pretilt angle in nematic liquid crystal (NLC) and electro-optical (EO) characteristics of photo-aligned twisted nematic (TN)-LCD with oblique P-polarized ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation on the two kinds of the soluble polyimide (PI) surfaces containing trifluoromethyl moieties were investigated. The generated pretilt angle of NLC is about 2.5$^{\circ}$with P-polarized UV light irradiation of 20$^{\circ}$on PI-3 surface at 20 min.; However pretilt angle of about 0.5$^{\circ}$are observed on PI-1 and PI-2 surfaces. The generated pretilt angle of NLC on PI-3 surface may be attributed to the trifluoromethyl moieties attached to the lateral benzene rings. The voltage-transmittance and response time characteristics of photo-aligned TN-LCD with P-polarized UV light irradiation of 20$^{\circ}$on PI-1 surface at 20 min were almost same in comparison with the rubbing-aligned TN-LCD. However, the high threshold voltage and slow response are observed on PI-3 surface. Also, the decay time $\tau$$\sub$d/ of photo-aligned TN-LCD is attributed to the anchoring energy of NLC.

In this paper, we obtained that the monodomain alignment of nematic liquid crystal (NLC) increases with increasing irradiation time with linearly polarized ultraviolet (LPUV) light irradiation on polyimide (PI) surfaces. It was found that the monodomain alignment of NLC is obtained in a cell with normally LPUV light irradiated on PI surface at 30 min. and then oblique LPUV is secondly irradiated on PI surfaces rotated by $90^{\circ}$. The pretilt angle of NLC is generated about $2.5^{\circ}$ with oblique angle of $60^{\circ}$ and then decreased with increasing the oblique angle of IN light irradiation. It is considered that the pretilt angle of NLC is attributed to the photo-depolymerization of polymer with the oblique angle of UV light. The voltage-transmittance and response time characteristics of photo-aligned twisted nematic (TN)-LCD with UV light irradiation time of 60 min. were almost same in comparison with rubbing treated TN-LCD.

Organic-based electroluminescent devices have attracted lots of interests because of their possible application as a large-area flat panel display. Polyimides have been used for photo-alignment in LCD(Liquid Crystal Display). However, the devices used in this study were fabricated with polyimide doped with N,N'-Diphenyl-N,N'-di(m-tolyl)-benzidine(TPD) (3, 10, 30wt%) for electroluminescent hole tranforting layer(EHTL). The photochemical and physical properties of EHTL was studied. The film thicknesses were reduced under illumination with UV light. Polyimide films doped with TPD(3wt%) was irradiated and the electrical properties of the films were studied.

In this study, we have investigated the relationship between the generation of pretilt angle and the polarization component in cells with UV light irradiation on polyimide (PI) surface. It was found that the generated pretilt angle is about $1.4^{\circ}$ with S-polarized UV light irradiation of $75^{\circ}$ on PI surface; it may be attributed to the asymmetry triangular of polymer surface with oblique S-polarized UV light irradiation on PI surface. Also, we measured that the generated pretilt angle is about $2.0^{\circ}$ with oblique P polarized UV light irradiation of $75^{\circ}$ on PI surface. Consequently, we suggest that the generated pretilt angle of the NLC is attributed to the interaction between the LC molecules and the polymer surface with oblique polarized UV light irradiation on PI surface.
