Abstract
We have investigated the generation of pretilt angle for a nematic liquid crystal (NLC) alignment with in-situ photoalignment method on polyimide (PI) surfaces using thin plastic substrates. The LC aligning capabilities and pretilt angle of the thin plastic substrates by in-situ photoalignment method were better than that of the glass substrate by general photoalignment. Also, the LC pretilt angle increased with increasing healing temperature and exposure time.
