Abstract
A liquid crystal alignment layer both offers a surface to which the liquid crystal molecules align, and maintains conductive properties required for the liquid crystal molecules to be manipulated by an applied electrical field. Advantages of the alignment layer offer reduced device degradation and improved stability under conventional or high intensity radiation, and also simplify the liquid crystal display or device construction.
