A nematic LCs doped with an acrylate-based monomer was injected into Vertical Alignment (VA) cells. Oblique UV irradiation for the polymer stabilization to the cell induced a pretilt angle. This method is proposed as a new photoalignment method to pretilt angle control for VA-LCDs. Multi-domain alignment will be realized.
