Abstract
We demonstrate anisotropic optical films based on liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) using a capillary force lithography (CFL). The fabricated optical films can be used as both an optical component and a self-aligning capability of liquid crystal molecules introduced on the film. Additionally, HA or PA LC can be induced on same material by controlling the water repellency of LCP surface. Moreover, surface anchoring transitions could be controlled by variation of pattern sizes and surface treatment. In this point of view, one thin optical film can act both retarder and alignment layer and then shows good retardation, LC alignment, and transmittance at the same time.
