Abstract

The present invention relates to material compositions and methods for generating photo-alignable positive c-plate retarders. Because a planar alignment direction can be induced in the surface of the above c-plate retarder by exposure to polarized light, a slave material can be aligned on the surface of the c-plate retarder with a defined azimuthal orientation direction, without the need of an additional orientation layer.
