Abstract(in English) It is important for the realization of non-rubbed LC displays to study the wettability of liquid crystals (LCs) on polymer surfaces. The estimation of wettability of LC have been done for two kinds of polyimides (Pls). Twisted nematic (TN) LC Cells, the one side is rubbed and the other side is non-rubbed, are assembled by using a magnetically-aligned method. After the sample cells are completed, they are kept for various periods and the twisted angles of the TN cells are measured. The results show that Pl with high wettability of LC gives a large twist angle (large anchoring energy) and long exposure of LC to polymer surfaces leads to increasing LC adsorption energy on the polymer surfaces and/or surface ordering of LC.
