I had no idea that that is how they align the liquid crystals! So now we have a high-tech solution to old workable low tech.... Plastic rubbed with velvet to high-vacuum ion guns on hard carbon films....

Also:
It is believed that the threads of the roller make contact with the atoms. Doh! Gotta floss those atoms...

Seriously, this method sounds similar to the way people make high-temp superconducting ribbon. They take a polycrystalline metal ribbon then deposit a buffer layer in the presence of an aligned ion beam to orient the crystallites. Then they deposit the oxide superconductor on it. It's called (and I'm not making this up) IBAD. <g>
