Abstract
The disclination lines appearing in liquid crystal (LC) cells with a relief ultraviolet (UV)-cured polymer layer under an applied voltage are investigated. Behaviors of the disclination lines are discussed using a LC molecular orientation model. The results indicate that the behaviors of the disclination lines are related to the angle between the alignment direction of the LC molecules and the direction of the grooves. Life time of the disclination lines is also measured as a function of the applied voltage.
