| Research Abstract |
We have proposed the principle of the multi-stable anchoring of the director induced by the frustration between symmetry of the pattern for the position of the rods and uniform orientation order in the liquid crystals. We have found the self-anchoring methods induced by the liquid-glass transition of the wetted alignment polymers. Unique pattern of the polymer rods in the liquid crystal cell are achieved by the UV laser polymerization for photo-curable acrylate monomers. Finally, we have extended the principle to the C-director anchoring controlled by the heterogeneous polymerization of intercalated photo-curable monomer between the smectic layers.
