Abstract
AbstractOne‐step cost effective process of fabrication of a full inorganic nanostructured transparent conductive electrode and LC alignment layer has been developed. More specifically, the subject comprises a self‐organized nanomesh of a valve metal, concomitant porous oxide layer with various functionality and electrochemical method of their fabrication. The nanomesh film is electrically conductive, optically transparent and flexible. It can be fabricated on a variety of substrates, including flexible and rigid substrates. High effective LC alignment layers based of nanostructured alumina can be fabricated at the same anodization process by special electro‐chemical technique in sulfuric and oxalic acids to form a self ordered nanoporous structure of alumina which has a “vertical” surface area that prevails over the “horizontal” one even though Al film's thickness is small. The possibility to control distances between pores and their sizes during the process of anodizing/etching enables to optimize alignment surface according to the required LC material.
