Abstract

A photoalignment material based N-(phenyl)maileimide were synthesized and the liquid crystal (LC) aligning capabilities on the photopolymer layer were studied. A goof LC alignment with UV exposure on the PM15CA(N-(phenyl)maileimide with 5-carbon chain cinnamoyl group) can be obtained However, the LC alignment defects were observed on the PM13CA (N-(phenyl)maileimide with 3-carbon cam cinnamoyl group) and PMIF (N-(Phenyl)maileimide including fluoro cinnamoyl group). Also, the good LC alignment with UV exposure on the PM15CA surface was observed at until $150^{\circ}C$ of annealing temperature. The LC aliging ability on the photopolymer layer based N-(phenyl)maleimide depends on the side chin length of photopolymer.
