This study investigates the cholesteric grating based on a hybrid alignment. The experiment results reveal that the ordered stripe of the hybridly aligned cholesteric grating (H-fingerprint) only exists for the d/p ratio between 1.5 and 3, and the stripe orientation of the H-fingerprint is difficult to control due to the variation of the d/p ratio. Optical properties of the H-fingerprint are also investigated. The results show that the 1st order diffraction efficiency of the H-fingerprint is higher than the diffraction efficiency 2nd order, and its two switching times are about 1500ms and 500ms for the off-time and the on-time, respectively.
The H-fingerprint with an anti-parallel rubbing process and the thermal effect are also investigated. The results reveal that the anti-parallel rubbing and the thermal effect can effectively control the stripe orientation of the H-fingerprint. The results greatly increase the possibility of applications for the H-fingerprint.
