Abstract
The polarized thin film formation by application of chromonic liquid crystal was investigated. The thickness and extinction of the formed dry films was measured and compared with the conditions of the meniscus region at the application process. The traditional shape of the application which has about 50 degrees escape angle of the back wall causes a wall climbing effect and the thickness in the meniscus region becomes large. However, the dry file thickness and extinction are almost the same in the case of the edge type applicator that does not cause the wall climbing effect.
