In this paper, a method of using photocopy technology in producing patterned alignment layer has been proposed, which is capable of copying any possible alignment patterns with the size as small as 2μm. A patterned polarizer made of quarter wave plates using photoalignment technology is used to transfer the alignment patterns to the photoalignment layer.
