Abstract

The theory of the torque balance method for azimuthal anchoring energy measurements is investigated in detail under a general case of anchoring strength relationships between two substrates and a generalized relationship equation is deduced. As an example, azimuthal anchoring energies of several polyimide (PI) materials in magnetically aligned twisted-nematic (TN) cells are determined and the experimental results are discussed. © 1999 Publication Board, Japanese Journal of Applied Physics.
