Abstract :

Liquid Crystal (LC) devices for displays and photonics are dominating in the market and will be the basic technology for advanced display and electronics in the nearest 10 years. Photoalignment materials can be effectively used in LC alignment and patterning for new generations of LC devices that provide extremely high resolution and optical quality of alignment both in glass and plastic substrates, photonics holes, etc. New liquid crystal devices include ORW E-paper, field sequential color Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal (FLC) projectors, photo-patterned quantum rods and 100% polarizers, q-plates, sensors, switchable lenses, windows with voltage controllable transparency, security films and switchable antennas.
