We have invented the new principle to produce the slippery interfaces on the glass or plastic substrates. Anchoring energy and viscosity of surface director can be evaluated from the motion of the surface director under rotational magnetic field. Poly-ethylene Glycol (PEG)-Gel surface shows “weak and lubricated” slippery interface which is good character for the new mode of liquid crystal display (LCD).
