旋光度測定による無閾反強誘電性液晶混合物の相転移の観察

抄録

It has been reported that some mixtures of ferroelectric and antiferroelectric liquid crystals exhibit a continuous electric field response with no voltage threshold. This property is expected to improve the performance of displaying halftone, which was a drawback of ferroelectric liquid crystal displays, but the response mechanism is still unknown. In this study, we investigated the relaxation process of the voltage response of MC815-MC881 mixtures, which exhibit the continuous response, by measuring the optical rotatory power (ORP) of the samples with several mixing ratios.
