摘要
Photosensitive polyimides (PIs) as an alignment layer induced optical switching of nematic liquid crystal (NLC) on photoirradiation at 366 nm. The orientation of NLC molecule was changed from homogeneous to homeotropic alignment on photoirradiation with a dc electric field as a bias. The optical switching behavior of NLC was largely affected by the chemical structures of PIs. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(99)02748-5].
