The liquid-crystal molecular order near the rubbed polymer surface is reexamined by the improved torque balance method. The surface azimuthal anchoring strength measured by the improved torque balance method is several times larger than that believed conventionally, considered to be significantly affected by the phase-transition behavior. Based on this result, it can be argued that the correlation between the rubbing strength and the surface azimuthal anchoring strength should be improved in consideration of the mechanism of surface order.
