Abstract

We report a liquid-crystal (LC) photoalignment material with a high photosensitivity based on the fluorinated poly(arylene ether) containing a chalcone unit in the main chain. The fluorinated poly(arylene ether) exhibited defect-free homogeneous alignment of LCs upon irradiation of linearly polarized UV light for 10 s. Spectroscopic analyses revealed that [2+2] cycloaddition between the chalcone moieties generated the surface anisotropy to induce an efficient alignment of LCs.
