This technology uses photoalignment to arrange liquid crystalline materials, enhancing LCD production and smart window applications. It offers a clean, rub-free method for aligning LCDs in various modes, improving production yield and resolution while lowering costs. For smart windows, it provides energy savings, wider viewing angles, and lower voltage operation through a vertically aligned polymer network. This simple process is highly compatible with existing LCD manufacturing and offers privacy control in buildings.
