This flexible LC cell proposed in this paper preserves comparable electro-optical properties while bending. The plastic film and the alignment layer integrated into an alignment substrate could prevent cracks of the additional polymer alignment layer during the bending condition. This method holds promises to be applicable to the roll-to-roll process to increase efficiency of the production.Flexible LCD; LC alignment; Nanoimprint lithographyAlignment; Chromium compounds; Liquid crystals; Nanoimprint lithography; Optical properties; Substrates; Electrooptical properties; Flexible LCD; Flexible substrate; LC alignment; Liquid crystal cells; Liquid crystals (LCs); Plastic substrates; Roll-to-roll process; Plastic coatingsjournal article10.1080/154214009030605732-s2.0-70349606710WOS:000270155300016
