Polyimide-Less Alignment by Dendrimers Dissolved in Liquid Crystal

摘要

A novel point of our study is to use dendrimers in combination with liquid crystal (LC) display as surfactant agent to modify substrate that contact liquid crystal. This is done without special technique, but we should only mix small amount of dendrimers to conventional liquid crystals. We call this alignment technique liquid crystal dendrimer alignment (LCDA). In this article, we describe the beginning and the development of the LCDA.
