Abstract
A method for fabricating a liquid crystal cell and related device includes providing an alignment layer of a light sensitive material on a substrate; and exposing the alignment layer to unpolarized or partially polarized light, to provide pretilt for the molecules of the alignment layer.
Claims70
A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device, comprising the steps of:
- providing an alignment layer on a substrate, said alignment layer having an orientation having an axis perpendicular to an oscillating direction of an electromagnetic wave;
- and
- exposing said alignment layer to light obliquely incident onto a surface of said alignment layer.
A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device, comprising the steps of:
- providing a photoreactive layer on a substrate;
- and
- exposing said photoreactive layer to unpolarized light obliquely incident onto a surface of the photoreactive layer.
A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device, comprising the steps of:
- providing a photoreactive layer on a substrate;
- and
- exposing said photoreactive layer with partially polarized light obliquely incident onto a surface of said photoreactive layer.
A liquid crystal display device, comprising;
- an alignment layer provided on a substrate, said alignment layer including a light sensitive material and having an orientation;
- and
- a liquid crystal material adjacent said alignment layer, said liquid crystal material having molecules having a pretilt, said pretilt having a magnitude depending on said orientation of the alignment layer.
