Abstract

This work presents a new monomolecular photo-alignment layer material based on a cinnamate core and a phosphonic anchoring group that offers excellent photo-alignment properties and utilizes a dip-washing deposition process. The significant advantages of such materials include a room-temperature deposition process with no rubbing and baking procedures, which makes the alignment materials suitable for flexible substrates. Irradiation by linearly polarized light for a short time, 30-60 seconds, provides robust and stable planar/vertical alignment with good values of VHR andRDC. Such cinnamate derivatives with vertical and planar alignment capabilities open new opportunities to achieve a monomolecular alignment layer with an intermediate pretilt angle.
