THIN FILM COMPENSATOR

摘要

PURPOSE: A thin film compensator is provided to obtain an anisotropy effect using a liquid crystal material by directing rubbing a plastic material and removing a polyimide orientation layer. CONSTITUTION: A substrate(102) has an alignment layer(104). A thin film(106) is attached to an upper portion of the alignment layer(104). An orientation layer(104) is formed on one surface of the substrate(102). A liquid crystal/air boundary(108) is formed on an upper portion of the thin film layer(106). Molecules of a polymerization liquid crystal has an intrinsic tilt angle in the liquid crystal/air boundary(108). The thin film(106) has a free surface in the liquid crystal/air boundary(108) near an air boundary.
