A simple and controllable surface wrinkling method was used to fabricate a 1-dimensional nanostructure. The structure was transferred to an ultraviolet cured polymer surface through ultraviolet nanoimprint lithography. The transferred 1-dimensional nanostructure of the ultraviolet cured polymer was used as an alignment layer in a liquid crystal display. The anisotropic geometry served as a guide for aligning liquid crystal molecules uniformly without defects. The liquid crystal cell based on the 1-dimensional UV-cured polymer exhibited high thermal stability above 180oC. The proposed 1-dimensional UV-cured polymer has advantages for advanced liquid crystal devices.
