PB27 Influence of alignment film on characteristics of PSV-FLC

Abstract

Polymer-stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystals having V-shaped electrooptical characteristics (PSV-FLCs) can be obtained by polymerizing doped monomers in the SmA phase. In this study, we research the effect of alignment film on the monostability and the molecular orientation of PSV-FLC in term of the electrooptical characteristics and the texture observation. The degree of monostability depends on not only FLC and polymer materials and polymer concentration but also aligment film and further cell gap and photocuring condition.
