Liquid crystal self-alignment technology

The preparation method for uniaxially homogeneous and vertical alignments of liquid crystal (LC) molecules was proposed without using a conventional alignment layer such as polyimide film. The method produces the self-alignment layer (SAL) by the polymerisation of the monomers in the LC layer above the TNI of the LC material. The fringe-field-switching (FFS) and the vertical alignment (VA) modes LC cells with the SALs (self-FFS or self-VA cells) produced from the monomers exhibited equivalent level of alignment state and electro-optical properties compared with the conventional LC cells having the polyimide-film alignment layers. The self-FFS and the self-VA cells would be useful for next-generation displays such as flexible liquid crystal displays (LCDs) because the method does not need high-temperature process over 200 °C.
