Planar-planar mode orientation patterning by linearly polarized light (LPL) irradiation. (a) Scheme showing the procedures for the in-plane photopatterning of the side chain polymer films. (b) Polarized optical microscopic (POM) images under crossed polarizers that are rotated 45° from each other. Note that the positive and negative tone patterns are reversed.
