An Oblique Orientation of Nematic Liquid-Crystals on a Photosensitive Aligning Polymer
The problem of an oblique orientation of a Liquid crystal in cells with light induced easy orientation axis is considered. Theoretical and experimental studies of the director distribution in a cell with a photosensitive orientant, fluorinated polyvinylcinnamate polymer film, are performed. The two exposure technique for liquid crystal oblique orientation and the condition for a new anchoring transition in a cell with a photosensitive orientant are also presented.
