1D03 フォトクロミック色素を添加したN^*-C^*相転移液晶の光誘起層配列制御

抄録

Novel photo-induced layer alignment control has been proposed in an azo-dye doped ferroelectric liquid crystal with N^*-C^* phase transition. This layer alignment control is based on the N^*-C^* phase transition induced by the photoisomerization of azo-dye. Novel electric field-induced layer re-arrangement has also been observed in this system.
