Abstract

We demonstrated an axially symmetric multi-domain liquid crystal (LC) structure formed by soft-lithographically patterned LC alignment layers. In our structure, homeotropic LC alignment layers are periodically patterned on a unidirectionally rubbed homogeneous LC alignment layer. The field-induced LC reorientation on the non-rubbed patterned surfaces is determined by the easy axis of the pattern boundaries, producing axially symmetric multi-domains or a mono-domain LC structures.
