Abstract
We have presented polarized photoluminescence (PL) from photopatterned disc otic liquid crystal (DLC) film. Photopatterned DLC film was accomplished by the photoalignment technique consisting of oblique photoirradiation with n onpolarized light and the subsequent annealing of an azobenzene-containing polymer thin film. The DLC molecules were aligned in a tilted hybrid manner as a result of the inclined orientation of the azobenzene moieties. Microp atterned PL was observable by imagewise nonpolarized excitation of the phot oaligned DLC film.
