Alignment process:
Physical processing performed to align liquid crystal elements in the same direction.

Organic alignment layer production process
When an organic alignment layer is mechanically treated (rubbed by a rubbing roll as shown in the figure), it is structured in a way to align the liquid crystals in a given orientation.

 

Inorganic alignment layer production process
In contrast to the organic alignment layer process, the inorganic alignment technology uses inorganic material to create the surface onto which the liquid crystal molecules align.
The layer thickness is controlled at the molecular level, and the alignment structure is generated with a contact-less process, thus there is no problem of unevenness.
