We proposed an alignment-controlling sandwiched polymer spacer that works as a spacer between rigid curved substrates and controls alignment of liquid crystal without using alignment layers for curvature-fixed display. We fabricated the spacer using polysiloxane resin with a transfer method. The results show that the liquid crystal molecules are vertically oriented to the polymer side surface due to the polysiloxane surface.
