Control of molecular alignment is important to functionalize soft materials. Two approaches were conducted to induce molecular alignment; mechanical alignment by stretching or rubbing and photoalignment. These processes were widely investigated but have problems such as contamination of dust in rubbing and necessity of high intensity polarized light in photoalignment. We have recently found that anisotropic monomers are aligned through photopolymerization with moving light. In this process, we also found that a periodic structure was formed spontaneously in the obtained polymer film. In this study, we fabricated the polymer films with periodic structures, and observed the film with a polarized optical microscope.
