Solitary wave propagation in surface stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal cells
Solitary wave propagation in surface stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal cells controlled by surface anchoring of the alignment layers is investigated for different conditions of alignment on the two opposite surfaces. We show that the critical field Ec, where the speed of the solitary wave becomes zero, is finite for asymmetric alignment on two surfaces. We also show that the polar anchori...
متن کاملV -shaped switching ferroelectric liquid crystal structure stabilized by dielectric surface layers.
The " V -shaped switching" mode in high polarization ferroelectric liquid crystals was studied with the aim of stabilizing the monostable bookshelf structure with the spontaneous polarization parallel to the glass plates. The director field in such cells was confirmed to be sensitive to both the liquid crystal properties and the cell parameters. In cells with only polyimide alignment layers, hy...
متن کاملSurface electroclinic effect in ferroelectric liquid crystal
Surface electroclinic effect in chiral nematic IN") phase of high-tilt-angle ferroelectric liquid crystal has been studied by dielectric relaxation and electro-optical method in a homogeneously aligned, thin samples in the frequency range of 400 Hz to loo kHz at different temperatures. The electroclinic effect in the N* phase observed in the surface layers is due to the effect of surface anchor...
متن کاملCalculation of the efficiency of polarization-insensitive surface-stabilized ferroelectric liquid-crystal diffraction gratings.
A rigorous analysis is presented of the diffraction efficiency of a polarization-insensitive surface-stabilized ferroelectric liquid-crystal (SSFLC) phase grating, taking full account of the internal structure of the ferroelectric liquid-crystal layer. When no field is applied, the twisted director profile in the relaxed state gives an optimum diffraction efficiency for a device thickness betwe...
متن کاملFabrication of Surface-Stabilized Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal Display with Stripe-Shaped Domain Structure
A uniform stripe-shaped domain (SSD) structure was obtained in the initial ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) alignment by rubbing the polyimide films doped with silicon naphthalocyanine. Such a surface-stabilized FLC cell exhibits a high contrast ratio and excellent bistability. Atomic force microscope images and pretilt angle measurement results demonstrated that the rubbing-induced polishing...
