摘要
An explanation for the mechanism generating a pretilted nematic liquid crystal conformation aligned on rubbed alkylbranched-polyimide layers is given based on a steric interaction model. An analytical calculation using this model was shown to agree fairly well with the data of torsional coupling strength obtained in this work. © 1990 IOP Publishing Ltd.
