Abstract

In this paper, we demonstrate a new surface patterning method for controlling the azimuthal anchoring energy and pretilt of liquid crystal alignment layer using topologically mixed surface patterns. In our method, the micro-groove structure is spontaneously formed by the preparation, where the macro-groove and micro-groove surface pattern determine the surface pretilt and the azimuthal LC anchoring, respectively.
