First Claim
1. A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal device, the method comprising:
- depositing a layer of liquid crystal material on a substrate; and
imprinting a pattern on the layer of liquid crystal material using an imprint template, such that molecules of the liquid crystal material are self-aligned to the pattern.

Abstract
Methods of manufacturing a liquid crystal device including depositing a layer of liquid crystal material on a substrate and imprinting a pattern on the layer of liquid crystal material using an imprint template are disclosed. The liquid crystal material can be jet deposited. The imprint template can include surface relief features, Pancharatnam-Berry Phase Effect (PBPE) structures or diffractive structures. The liquid crystal device manufactured by the methods described herein can be used to manipulate light, such as for beam steering, wavefront shaping, separating wavelengths and/or polarizations, and combining different wavelengths and/or polarizations.
