Spacer Fabrication of Flexible Liquid Crystal by Roller Nanoimprint Technique

Abstract

In flexible liquid crystal (LC) displays, electrooptic properties are disordered when the substrate gap is changed by spacer deformation and pressure damage. In this study we have proposed a formation method of robust spacers on a plastic substrate by roller nanoimprint technique. We fabricated a vertical-alignment LC device with plastic substrates by utilizing the striped spacers and comb-like electrodes. We confirmed the light modulation of the flexible LC device.
