Liquid crystal alignment layers and method of fabrication

Methods are provided for making layers with nano-and micro-patterned topographies by laser action or inkjet printing on a first surface. These topographies have a periodicity of 5nm to 500 m in a first direction in the plane of the first surface. These layers can be used as anisotropically patterned...

More Information
Summary:Methods are provided for making layers with nano-and micro-patterned topographies by laser action or inkjet printing on a first surface. These topographies have a periodicity of 5nm to 500 m in a first direction in the plane of the first surface. These layers can be used as anisotropically patterned alignment layers in electro-optical devices and generate an orientational order of at least 0.30.
