Abstract

An embodiment of the present disclose provides a method for manufacturing alignment film, including: providing a mixture of a liquid crystal material and an alignment film precursor material; filling the mixture of the liquid crystal material and the alignment film precursor material between an upper substrate and a lower substrate to form a mixed liquid crystal layer; sealing the mixed liquid crystal layer in a liquid crystal cell; aligning the liquid crystal material in the mixed liquid crystal layer in a first predetermined direction; gathering the alignment film precursor material in the mixed liquid crystal layer onto at least one the upper substrate and the lower substrate; and curing the alignment film precursor material gathered on the at least one of the upper substrate and the lower substrate to form an alignment film, wherein an alignment channel in a second predetermined direction is formed in the alignment film.
