Orientation of side chain-type liquid crystal polymer

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To accomplish the titled orientation with stabilized orientation even after voltage removal, by mixing a low-molecular weight liquid crystal with a side chain-type liquid crystal polymer followed by applying a direct voltage at specified temperature to the mixture. CONSTITUTION:The objective orientation can be accomplished by mixing a low-molecular weight liquid crystal with a side chain-type liquid crystal polymer with the main chain of formula I, etc., and the side chain of formula -(CH2)n-A [A is of formula II (X, Y and Z are each C, O or N; R0 is -NH2, etc.), etc.] followed by applying a direct voltage to the resultant mixture at a temperature below the liquid crystal phase-isotropic phase transition temperature of said mixture.
