Visualization of Director Distributions from the Cross-Sectional Images Using a Dye-Doped UV Cured Liquid-Crystal Cell
Cross-sectional observations of liquid crystal (LC) cells using a dichroic dye doped UV curable LC are demonstrated. The cross-sectional director distributions in LC cells are calculated using an absorption of the dichroic dye with the same direction of LC. As the results, we can successfully visualize the director distribution in the cross section of the LC cell.
