LIQUID CRYSTAL ARTICLE AND FABRICATION THEREOF

摘要

Provided are liquid crystal articles and methods for forming the same. The liquid crystal articles comprise a substrate and an alignment layer deposited over the substrate. The alignment layer includes a molecular crystalline material formed from a lyotropic liquid crystal material. The liquid crystal device includes a thermotropic liquid crystal layer deposited over the alignment layer.

主权项

1. An article comprising:
a first substrate and second substrate; a molecular alignment layer having a thickness in a range from 30 to 100 nanometers and comprising a molecular crystalline material formed from lyotropic liquid crystal material and in contact with the first substrate; and a thermotropic liquid crystal layer comprising thermotropic liquid crystal molecules disposed between the first substrate and second substrate and in contact with the molecular alignment layer.
