Igor Musevic, Cindy Nieuwkerk and Theo Rasing Since the pioneering
work on surface-induced alignment of liquid crystals, performed by
Lehmann 1], Grandjean 2], Mauguin 3], Chatelain 4], and others 5],
scientist have been looking for the answer to the question: why do
certain surfaces align liquid crystals and others not'? The answer
to this question has become even more important with the advent of
modern liquid crystal display technologies, that are based on re
liable and technologically controllable surface alignment of liquid
crystals, used in a variety of electrooptic devices, such as liquid
crystal displays, light modulators, optical shutters, switches,
holographic systems, etc. During the last decade, the progress in
the technology of liquid crystal devices, as well as the discovery
of a variety of novel liquid crystalline phases have triggered a
considerable and intense scientific interest in the microscopic
origin of surface alignment. Fortunately, this renewed scientific
and techno logical interest was accompanied by the advent of
modern, surface sensitive experimental techniques, that have been
successfully used in the study of liquid crystal interfaces.
Whereas a decade ago the mechanisms of surface alignment were
"poorly understood," nowadays we can claim that we do un derstand
most of the "mysteries" of the surface alignment of liquid
crystals."
