摘要：

A photochemical way to regulate azimuthal alignment of nematic liquid crystals is presented. Surface of a silica substrate plates was modified with photochromic units to fabricate a liquid crystal cell with use of the plate. Exposure of the cell to linearly polarized light for the photochromic reactions induced homogeneous alignment.
