Properties and Applications of Ferroelectric Liquid Crystals
The ferroelectric modes of liquid crystals which allow for easy reorientation of the direction of polarization make liquid crystals an attractive element to use for applications such as optical storage, and optical switching. Three schemes for achieving ferroelectricity are discussed: chiral smectic alignment, achiral “banana-shaped” smectic alignment, and the nematic phase that comes from stro...

متن کاملPerdeuterated cyanobiphenyl liquid crystals for infrared applications
Perdeuterated 4’-pentyl-4-cyanobiphenyl ~D5CB! was synthesized and its physical properties evaluated and compared to those of 5CB. D5CB retains physical properties similar to those of 5CB, such as phase transition temperatures, dielectric constants, and refractive indices. An outstanding feature of D5CB is that it exhibits a much cleaner and reduced infrared absorption. Perdeuteration, therefor...
متن کاملLow loss liquid crystals for infrared applications
Seven fluorinated and chlorinated terphenyl compounds intended for mid-wave infrared (MWIR) applications are synthesised and two eutectic mixtures formulated, and their physical properties evaluated. In addition to low absorption, some desirable properties for MWIR applications include wide nematic range, high birefringence, large dielectric anisotropy and low viscosity. The fluorinated terphen...
