Alignment layer: History, Techniques & Overview

Alignment layers, or alignment films, are thin films which are a crucial component of liquid crystal displays (LCDs). They are applied to the surfaces of the glass substrates that contain the liquid crystals. The primary function of these layers is to control the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules, which is essential for the proper operation of…
