The stylus of an atomic force microscope is used to rub a polyimide-coated substrate with a spatial period of 10 μm. A spatial periodicity is thereby introduced into the anchoring strength coefficient, resulting in a shoulder in the intensity–voltage curve above the Fréedericksz transition threshold of a nematic liquid crystal.
