Abstract
An alignment technique for liquid crystal devices is presented that consist s of polymer walls made from monomers that are oriented by an electric fiel d while cured with a spatially patterned UV light source. The technique pro vides defined boundary conditions of the liquid crystal director field in t hree dimensions. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S0021-8979(00)088 17-4].
