Photoalignment technology is a kind of contactless method of aligning liquid crystal by using polarized light. It possesses many advantages
e.g.
non-contamination
non-electrostatic charges
easy to realize multi-domain aligning even in a tiny fine area
and etc. Thus
it has attracted more and more attentions of the researchers all over the world. The review describes the status of the studies and the recent achievements in the field of photoalignment of liquid crystals
