Surface 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...

Dielectric relaxation in a ferroelectric liquid crystal

2014 We present an analytic calculation of the normal modes of distortion induced by a small transverse A.C. electric field on a ferroelectric liquid crystal close to its transition temperature Tc between the smectic A and C* phases. These normal modes are superpositions of electric polarization and angular molecular distortion. Compared to a previous work of Blinc and Zeks, we assume that the ...

Recent Advances in Polymer Network Liquid Crystal Spatial Light Modulators

Polymer network liquid crystal (PNLC) spatial light modulators are attractive for display and photonic applications because they can achieve submillisecond response time while keeping a large phase change. However, their on-state scattering caused by the grain boundary of LC multidomains hinders their applications. In this article, we review recent progress on the development of scattering-free...
