We propose a method to control the pretilt angle of liquid crystal (LC) by doping a proper amount of UV curable reactive mesogen (RM) monomers in hometropic polyimide (PI). The intermediate pretilt angles are produced by anchoring competition between homeotropic PI and the polymerized RM which direction is along the LC molecules under electric field.

Alignment effects for nematic liquid crystal (NLC) using an in-situ photo-alignment method with obliquely polarized UV exposure on a polyirnide (PI) surface for homeotropic alignment were studied. The high pretilt angle in NLC can be measured by obliquely W exposure of $30^{\circ}$ on the PI surface for 10~20 min. The pretilt angle of NLC generated using the in-situ photo-alignment was higher than that of a conventional photo-alignment method.

We studied electro-optical (EO) performances of a vertical-alignment (VA)-in plane switching (IPS) cell on a photopolymer surfaces. The VA-IPS cell, dark in voltage-off state, reveals bright uniformity in all directions due to the dual domainlike dierector configuration in the voltage-on state. For voltage-transmittance (V-T) measurement, the transmittance characteristics of the VA-IPS cell on the photopolymer surface was better than that of the VA-IPS cell on a polyimide(PI) surface.
