Photo-alignment efficiency of polyimide containing azobenzene in the backbone structure (Azo-PI) is significantly enhanced by exposing the precursor (polyamic acid: Azo-PAA) film to alkyl-amine vapor prior to photo-alignment. In this study, we have i

A dichroic dye-doped liquid crystal Fresnel lens was fabricated and investigated to observe the combination of phase and amplitude modulation based focusing. An anthraquinone dichroic dye was doped into a liquid crystal host, which when in the Fresne

We have investigated the pretilt angle of liquid crystals generated by photoalignment layers of polyimide containing azobenzene in the backbone structure (Azo-PI). Three different photoalignment layers were prepared by performing or not performing al

We have succeeded in inducing uniform alignment of liquid crystal (LC) molecules by using end-functionalized-perfluoropolyether (PFPE) (Fluorocur® made by Liquidia Technologies) films exposed to linearly polarized ultraviolet light (LPUVL). The aver

Deuterium NMR spectroscopy is widely employed to investigate the static and dynamic director alignment for low molar mass nematics contained in a thin sandwich cell. When the director is not uniformly aligned the appearance of the deuterium NMR spect

We have investigated the photo-induced in-plane anisotropy of the films of two different polyimides (PIs) containing azobenzene in the backbone structure (Azo-PIs), which were synthesized from the same diamine, 4, 4′-diaminoazobenzene (DAAB), and t

We have succeeded in realizing an inclined homeotropic alignment of liquid crystal (LC) molecules by using photo-aligned films of a polyimide containing azobenzene in the backbone structure. To induce such an LC alignment, a side chain structure was

We have investigated the alignment of poly (9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl) (PFO) induced by a photo-aligned polyimide film, which is optically, thermally, and chemically stable. The ∼30 nm-thick PFO layer was spin-coated onto a photo-aligned polyim

Using polarized infrared absorption spectroscopy, we have determined the orientation of the polyimide backbone structure in photo-alignment films for liquid crystals (LC). The polyimide used in this study contains azobenzene in the backbone structure

We have determined the in-plane molecular order of a polyamic acid (PAA) film irradiated with linearly polarized ultraviolet light (LPUVL), as well as that of the polyimide film obtained by thermally imidizing it. The PAA examined in this study conta
