Abstract

Discotic liquid crystals possess versatile applicabilities for electronics and photonics over calamitic ones so that increasing efforts have been made on developing disk-shaped molecules, aiming at the elucidation of the structure-function relationship. We report herein a novel approach to discotic liquid crystal alignment, which was accomplished by using a thin film of a polymer bearing azobenzene side chains. A polymer film irradiated obliquely with nonpolarized light gave rise to the orientational control of discotic liquid crystals as a result of three-dimensionally photoaligned azobenzene side chains.
