Chiral nematic liquid crystals or cholesteric liquid crystals (CLC) can be obtained by adding a chiral dopant into a nematic liquid crystal. Liquid crystal molecules spontaneously rotate along a long axis to form helical structures in CLC system. Both pitch size and orientation of the helical structure is determined by the boundary conditions and can be further tuned by external stimuli. Particularly, the uniform lying helical structure of CLC has attracted intensive attention due to its beam steering and diffraction abilities. Up to now, studies have worked on controlling the in-plane orientation of lying helix through surface rubbing and external stimuli. However, it remains challenging to achieve steady and uniform lying helical structure due to its higher energy, comparing with other helical configurations. Here, by varying the surface anchoring, uniform lying helical structure with long-range order is achieved as thermodynamically stable state without external support. Poly (6-(4-methoxy-azobenzene-4'-oxy) hexyl methacrylate) (PMMAZO), a liquid crystalline polymer, is deposited onto the silicon substrate to fine-tune the surface anchoring. By changing the grafting density of PMMAZO, both pitch size and orientation of lying helical structure are precisely controlled. As the grafting density increases, the enhanced titled deformation of helical structure suppresses the pitch size of CLC at the same cell thickness; as the cell thickness increases, the morphology transition from long-range order stripe to small fingerprint domain is facilitated.
