Abstract

The possibility of obtaining homeotropic orientation in thin-film nematic liquid crystal (NLC) cells using carbon nanotubes is briefly considered. The results of this investigation can be used to develop optical elements for displays with vertical orientations of NLC molecules (MVA-display technology).
