Abstract

In this study, the effect of the crystallinity of polyimide (Pl) and the birefringence of the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) for pretilt angle generation on rubbed PI surface containing thiophenylene moieties has been demonstrated. The induced optical retardation produced in rubbed Pl surfaces decreases on increasing the imidization temperature. We suggest that the pretilt angle of 4-cyano-4'-n-pentybiphenyl (5CB) depends on the crystallinity of the rubbed Pl. The order of pretilt angle in NLCs is 5CB>PCH5$\geq$CCH5 at rubbing strength(RS)=150mm (medium rubbing) on rubbed PI surfaces. We suggest that on rubbed Pl surfaces the pretilt angle increases with increasing number of phenylrings in the NLC core.
