Abstract:
Devices and method of fabrication a liquid crystal electro-optic device which is based on light scattering and diffraction from a multiple domain field-effect liquid crystal configuration are provided. The multiple domains include random liquid crystal alignment directions fabricated by photo-alignment and have sizes ranging from sub-micrometer to several micrometers. The random alignment in the plane can be of two or more directions whereas the pretilt angle can vary between zero and 90°. The randomness of the planar directions of the liquid crystal director can be generated by a designed photo mask in combination with uniaxial photo-alignment.

Claim (Index 15):
The method of  claim 12 , wherein the photo-alignment layer comprises an azo dye structure, wherein a liquid crystal polymer layer is disposed on a top surface of the azo dye structure, and wherein the liquid crystal polymer layer is cured by ultraviolet light exposure.
