Evaluation of Alignment of Nematic Liquid Crystal Thin Film by Spectroscopic Ellipsometry

Generally, macroscopic molecular orientation state in liquid crystal layer can be described by Ossen and Frank's continuum theory. However, the validity of applying the continuum theory to nematic liquid crystal thin film (NLCF) has not been confirmed yet. In this study, we experimentally examined NLCF by employing spectroscopic ellipsometer. As a result, theoretical and experimental result represent a good agreement when NLCF thickness is from 60 to 250 nm. Furthermore, the influence of surface roughness on alignment film surface and glass substrate was also examined.
