{wiki=Photoalignment}
Photoalignment is a process used in material science and engineering, particularly in the field of liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and photonic devices. It involves the alignment of molecular or polymeric materials through exposure to light, usually UV (ultraviolet) or polarized light. The technique is based on the principle that light can influence the orientation of certain materials, typically those that are photosensitive or have photoresponsive properties.
