報告題目：Photoalignment for liquid crystals

報告簡介：

Photoalignment is a method to align liquid crystal by a light sensitive material. The method is used to align nematic, chiral, blue phase and ferro-electric liquid crystal. The patterned illumination can be made with interference or by using spatial light modulator. Different patterns and the 3D director configurations are discussed. Applications in spectroscopy and augmented reality are discussed.
