Abstract:The speed of electrooptic switching in the surface stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal (SSFLC) cell is dependent on the polarization density and orientational viscosity of the FLC material. These properties are, of course, related to the chemical structure of the FLC components. In an effort to design new high-performance FLC materials in a directed way, we have developed a stereochemical model for the molecular origins of the polarization based on the concept that the polarization is a manifestation of a … Show more
