Micro-patterned photoalignment of CsPbBr nanowires with liquid crystal molecule composite film for polarized emission.

Photoalignment technology provides high potential for the manipulation of molecular orientations and has been widely used in liquid crystal displays. In this work, we align a luminescent film composite of CsPbBr nanowires (NWs) and liquid crystal molecules through photoalignment conducted on a PDMS template. We successfully define different orientations of CsPbBr NWs on the same substrate and the fluorescence micrographs clearly exhibit the orthogonal polarization direction of the two regions. On the basis of this research, we develop micro-photoalignment technology, which is promising for fabricating complex and precise nanostructures for photonic applications.
