Abstract
We observed cholesteric liquid crystal alignment induced by a stretched polymer filament. The molecular alignment of the cellulose filament surface anchors liquid crystal molecules in the stretching direction. When the polymer filament was fixed in a cholesteric liquid crystal cell, helical axis of liquid crystal alignment near the filament was controlled to be perpendicular to the filament direction. The polymer filament can induce cylindrical-symmetry helical alignment.
