We developed a wide-viewing twisted-nematic (TN) liquid crystal display (LCD) with two bidirectional alignment layers using a stamping-assisted rubbing process. The bidirectionally rubbed alignment layer through a stamping and peel-off process provides the multi-domain alignment of the LC molecules. The patterned fluorinated acrylate polymer, used as a protective layer, was produced to cover the rubbed alignment layer during the second rubbing process for the bidirectional LC alignment. Our multi-domain TN-LCD shows wide-viewing characteristics that are symmetric with respect to the rubbing directions.
