Molecular Alignment Structure of Polymer-Stabilized Ferroelectric Liquid Crystals

“…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.…”

Measurement of Polymer Stabilization Strength in Polymer-Stabilized Ferroelectric Liquid Crystals

“…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].…”
