  • Publication number: 20130227830
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of an optical film includes following steps. An alignment solution is coated onto a first substrate having a first area and a second area. The alignment solution on the first substrate is exposed to a polarized light to form an optical alignment film having a first alignment direction and a second alignment direction on the two areas, respectively. A composite liquid crystal (LC) material containing a reactive LC material and a monomer material is coated onto the optical alignment film. The optical alignment film is sequentially exposed to a first non-polarized light having a monomer material absorption wavelength and a second non-polarized light having a reactive LC material absorption wavelength, thus the monomer material reacts with the reactive LC material, and the reactive LC material is solidified along the first and second alignment directions in sequence. A manufacturing method of a stereoscopic display is also provided.
