摘要:
We have employed a phase modulation method using a photoelastic modulator to determine the uniformity and quality of the alignment layer of liquid crystals (LCs). It is demonstrated that a two-dimensional map of the phase retardation, associated with irregular rubbing and/or chemical contaminants, provides invaluable information about an early detection of defects involved for aligning the LC molecules on a substrate.
