Abstract

ABSTRACTWe propose the method for formation of the vertical alignment polymer film by polymerisation of the monomers being dissolved in the liquid crystal (LC) material. For obtaining the vertical alignment, combination of the two monomers, 4-(4ʹ-octyloxy-biphenyl-4-yloxy)-butyl ester (AOBBE) and 2,7-dimethacryloyl-oxy-phenanthrene (DMAPhen), was found to be useful.The monomer DMAPhen initiates the polymerisation under UV light exposure, and the AOBBE unit induces the vertical alignment without generating any alignment defects. The monomer DMAPhen is useful for maintaining the high voltage holding ratio and low residual direct current voltage after UV light exposure because the molecules of DMAPhen do not remain in the LC layer.
