Naphthalene Base Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal and Its Electrooptical Properties

Abstract

Abstract This paper reports the naphthalene base FLC mixture which provides an almost ideal bookshelf layer structure. The formation of the bookshelf layer structure may be governed by the naphthalene base FLC's particular phase sequence and the wide temperature range of SA phase. This paper also describe the layer tilt angle dependence of the electrooptic properties such as the polarization switchings and the memory capability.
