Abstract

Abstract: Four different reactive mesogens (RMs) for polymer stabilization of liquid crystal (LC) director in vertical alignment (VA) display have been synthesized and its stabilizing characteristics depending on size of the synthesized group and polarity of RM have been evaluated by studying electro‐optic characteristics of the LC cells. Our results show that the small size of substitute between biphenyls similar to LC molecular with polarity is favored to achieve excellent polymer stabilization without showing any grain size of polymer although photo‐initiator is not used at all.
