In this paper, we studied the liquid crystal(LC) alignment and generation of pretilt angle in nematic (N) LC with oblique p-wave polarized ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation on the two kinds of the polyimide (PI) surface. The monodomain alignment of NLC is obtained with oblique p-wave polarized UV light irradiated on PI surface at 5$\sim$60min. We obtained that the pretilt angles of the NLC is generated about $2.1^{\circ}$ with angle of incidence of $30^{\circ}$ at 20min. Also, the pretilt angle of NLC decreases with increasing the imidization temperature on PI surface.

Photosensitive polyimides containing cinnamoyl and coumarin side groups were synthesized in a high molecular weight, giving a good quality of films. Nematic liquid-crystal (LC) molecules on the film were aligned along the direction with an angle of $97-99^{\circ}$ respect to the polarization of ultraviolet (UV) light. The LC alignment was induced mainly by the photoaligned polymer chains made by the first UV-exposure even though the film was treated by multiple exposures with changing the polarization of UV light. From these results, it is concluded that the LC alignment on the film is induced by the photodimerization rather than the trans-cis photoisomerization.

본 논문에서는 회전 편광자법을 이용한 액정셀의 셀갭측정 방법을 개선하여 반사모드의 TN LCD의 셀갭을 측정할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 측정 시스템에서 액정셀(liquid crystal cell)을 회전시키며 분산 특성을 측정하여, 액정 꼬임각이 알려진 셀의 갭과 파장에 따른 Δnd값을 구할 수 있다.

In this paper, we investigated the liquid crystal(LC) alignment and generation of pretilt angle by using photo-alignment techniques on two kinds of polyimide(Pl) surface. It was found that the uniform alignment for nematic(N) LC is obtained in a cell with slanted UV light irradiation on PI surface without side-chain. We successfully observed that the pretilt angle of NLC is generated about 3.3 degrees in a cell with an incidence angle of 70 degrees on PI surface without side chain. It is considered that the pretilt angle generation in NLC is attributed to interaction between the LC molecular and the polymer.

We have studied the viewing angle control using a twist nematic liquid crystal display (TN-LCDs). These TK-LCDs have the characteristics, of which is not good image quality, for examples low Contrast ratio and gray scale inversion problems at upper and down viewing direction. TN-LCDs have the function of switching between the wide viewing mode and narrow viewing angle mode using two tilted LC layers. Tilt angles of the two LC layers, $14^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ were required in both wide viewing angle and narrow viewing angle modes, respectively. Consequently, this device is compatible with two image performances of which the wide viewing angle mode and Narrow viewing angle mode.

To observe the orientation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) dispersed in nematic liquid crystal (NLC), CNT-doped homogeneously-aligned NLC cells driven by in-plane field was fabricated. The CNTs were aligned with a LC director in the initial state, whereas the CNTs disturbed the LC director above critical ac field. We observed motional textures in the form of vertical stripes in the local area between electrodes, which were associated with a deformation of the LC director orientation. This suggests that CNTs start to vibrate three dimensionally with translational motion. The hysteresis studies of voltage-dependent transmittance under dc electric field show that the amount of residual dc is greatly reduced due to ion trapping by CNT.

We have studied the viewing angle control of a twist nematic liquid crystal display (TN-LCD). The TN-LCD exhibits a bad image quality along vertical direction, due to characteristics such as low contrast ratio and gray scale inversion. The proposed new TN-LCD has the function of switching between the wide viewing mode and narrow viewing angle mode using two tilted LC layers at both sides of a TN-cell. Tilt angles of the two LC layers, $14^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ were required in both wide viewing angle and narrow viewing angle modes, respectively.

To understand effects of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) dispersed in nematic liquid crystal (NLC) on electro-optic characteristic and orientation of the LC, we CNT-doped homogeneously-aligned NLC cells driven by in-plane field have been fabricated. The CNTs were aligned with a LC director from the initial state to below critical ac field, whereas the CNTs disturbed the LC director field above critical ac field. We observed motional textures in the form of vertical stripes in the local area between electrodes, which were associated with a deformation of the LC director orientation. This indicates that CNTs start vibrating three dimensionally with translational motion. Further, the hysterisis studies of voltage-dependent transmittance under dc electric field show that the amount of residual dc, which is related to image sticking problem in liquid crystal displays, is greatly reduced due to ion trapping by CNTS while keeping operating voltage and response time about the same compared to the un-doped LC cell.

In this study, liquid crystal (LC) aligning capabilities for homeotropic alignment on the $ZrO_x$ thin film by electron beam evaporation method were investigated. Also, the control of pretilt angles and thermal stabilities of the NLC treated on $ZrO_x$ thin film were investigated. The uniform LC alignment on the $ZrO_x$ thin film surfaces and good thermal stabilities with electron beam evaporation can be achieved. It is considerated that the LC alignment on the $ZrO_x$ thin film by electron beam evaporation is attributed to elastic interaction between LC molecules and micro-grooves at the $ZrO_x$ thin film surface created by evaporation. In addition, it can be achieved the good electro-optical (EO) properties of the VA-LCD on $ZrO_x$ thin film layer with. oblique electron beam evaporation.

Coumarin기가 포함된 액정성을 가진 단량체를 액정 상태에서 UV 조사에 의해 중합하였다. Cycloaddition 반응에 의해 coumarin 액정 단량체는 이량체로 전환되었으며, 광이량화 반응 후에도 액정성이 유지되었다. 그리고 이러한 이량체는 단량체의 액정범위 보다 넓은 영역에서 액정성을 나타내었다. 화합물의 구조는 FT IR 및 $^1H$ NMR에 의해 확인하였으며, 그들의 열적 상전이온도 및 열안정성들은 DSC, GPC 및 편광현미경에 의해 조사하였다. 광중합에 의해 생성된 고분자 생성물은 광학 편광 현미경 관찰에 의해 스멕틱 및 네마틱 조직을 갖는 쌍방성 액정성을 보였다.
