Sum-frequency generation spectroscopy was employed to quantitatively analyze the anisotropy and structure of alignment films. Our findings indicate that rubbing induced anisotropy in entire alignment films, while linear polarized UV light irradiation affected photosensitive cinnamoyl group. This demonstrates that the anisotropy of photosensitive segment is the dominant factor governing liquid crystal molecular alignment.
