Morphology of SiO2 films as a key factor in alignment of liquid crystals with negative dielectric anisotropy

Control of liquid crystal (LC) orientation using a proper SiO2 alignment layer is essential for the optimization of vertically aligned nematic (VAN) displays. With this aim, we studied the optical anisotropy of thin SiO2 films by generalized ellipsometry as a function of deposition angle. The column...
