Estimation of Switching Voltage of Aitiferroelectric Liquid Crystals by Molecular Dynamics Simulation

Abstract

To develop a low switching voltage desirable for liquid crystal displays, the switching voltage is measured for several materials, together with constant temperature-pressure molecular dynamics simulation (MD simulation) to study the layer structure and the stability. By comparing these results such tendency comes out that as the switching voltage is higher, the difference of the internal energy at the ferroelectric state to that at the antiferroelectric one is larger.
