We investigated the effect of the polymerized surfaces on the anchoring energy and pre‐tilt angle of liquid crystal alignment. Ultraviolet light‐illuminated cell initiates polymerization and produces sub‐micron sized polymer protrusions. Experimental evidences reveal the relation between the curing conditions and the resulted pre‐tilt angle and anchoring energy of cells.
