Organized molecular systems provide alluring light-driven actuation systems. They can be migrated or deformed themselves or control states of other ordered materials. This paper presents our two recent topics on light-driven organized monolayers and thin films comprising photochromic azobenzene-containing liquid crystalline polymers; i) photo- alignment of nanochannels in mesoporous silica film, and ii) light-triggered instant mass migration in a thin film state, which can be utilized as a conveyance system for micropatterning of light-inert molecules and materials.
