摘要：
Homogeneous alignment of a nematic liquid crystal (LC) was induced by a polyimide (PI) film containing diphenyl ether component exposed to linearly polarized light at 366 nm. Ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra showed that the change in the absorption of the PI was very small after exposure; the preliminary result indicated that the homogeneous alignment of a LC could be induced without significant change in the PI structure.
