We report here uniform and defect-free homeotropic alignment of nematic liquid crystal having negative dielectric anisotropy (Δε<0) on cleaned substrates, which can be changed to bright state (homogeneous alignment) by applying an electric field. However, non-uniformity in the bright state would not

The UV-induced alignment of nematic liquid crystals on Probimide 32 preimidized polyamide-imide surfaces is investigated. Exposing the polymer layer to linearly polarized deep UV ( l Å 254 nm) produces an aligning effect comparable to that achieved by mechanically brushing the polymer film. A laser
