An improved method for measuring the azimuthal anchoring energy of liquid crystals has been developed. Without knowing the easy axes of the cells precisely, it is possible to measure their anchoring energy precisely, using the same liquid crystals but with different chiralities for the divided cells. The principles and measurements are discussed.
