“…A leading candidate is ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) [1]. Surface-stabilized (SS) FLCs are attractive because of their unique characteristics such as high-speed response, wide viewing angle and bistability [2][3][4]. Although the bistability is suitable for passive matrix-addressed displays, it is disadvantageous for LCDs which possess grayscale or full-color capability [5].…”

We have analyzed the effect of polymer stabilization on the helical structure of FLCs, such as polymer stabilization strength and molecular-alignment-structural deformation, by the conoscopic figures of polymer-stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystals (PSFLCs) observed from computer simulation and experiment. In this study, we research the conoscopic figures and the polymer stabilization strength of PSFLCs fabricated using a new FLC material and several types of monomer. In the case using a photocurable monoacrylate LC-1, the elastic constant of PSFLC is as large as that of pure FLC. On the other hand, in the case of diacrylate 2A363, the elastic constant is one hundred times larger. Therefore, the polymer stabilization strength and the characteristics of PSFLC may be widely controlled by mixing several types of monomer.

“…Surface stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal displays (SSFLCDs) form the basis of a rapidly developing technology of significant potential impact in display applications, in particular, such as video image displays by taking advantage of their fast response speed [1][2][3][4]. However, the bistability of SSFLC is disadvantageous for LCDs that possess grayscale or full-color capability, because the size of bistable switching domains may become almost equal to the pixel size of LCDs.…”

Polymer-stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystals (PSFLCs), in which a photocurable mesogenic monomer is doped into a ferroelectric liquid crystal and a UV photocure is carried out in the SmA or the SmC Ã phase under the application of a bipolar AC electric field, show the monostable and V-shaped electrooptical characteristics, and thus are expected to be a newly developed materials for LC devices. In this study, in order to increase the thermal reliability of PSFLCs, we fabricate a new PSFLC photocured at the nematic (N) phase, and then investigate its characteristics in terms of the electrooptical effect and the X-ray diffraction. Results show that the PSFLC photocured at the N phase does not become monostable because the chevron angle does not coincide with the tilt angle.
