    摘要: A liquid crystal composition, comprising: at least one mesomorphic compound represented by the following formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 independently denote a linear or branched alkyl group having 1-18 carbon atoms capable of including one or non-neighboring two or more methylene groups which can be replaced with at least one species of --O--, --CO--, --COO--, --OCO--, --OCOO-- or --CH(X)-- with the proviso that --O-- cannot directly be connected to --O-- and X denotes halogen; Z.sup.1 denotes --COO-- or --CH.sub.2 O--; X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 independently denote a single bond, --O--, --COO--, --OCO--, --CO-- or --OCOO--; A.sup.1 denotes a single bond, ##STR2## Y.sup.1 and Y.sup.2 independently denote hydrogen, halogen, --CH.sub.3 -- or CF.sub.3 --; and at least one mesomorphic compound represented by the following formula (II): ##STR3## wherein R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 independently denote a linear or branched alkyl group having 1-18 carbon atoms capable of including one or non-neighboring two or more methylene groups which can be replaced with at least one species of --O--, --CO--, --COO--, --OCO--, --OCOO-- or --CH(X)-- with the proviso that --O-- cannot directly be connected to --O-- and X denotes halogen; X.sup.3 and X.sup.4 independently denotes a single bond, --O--, --COO--, --OCO-- or --CO--; Z.sup.2 denotes a single bond, --COO-- or --OCO--; A.sup.2, A.sup.3 and A.sup.4 independently denote a single bond, ##STR4## Y.sup.3 and Y.sup.4 independently denote hydrogen, halogen, --CH.sub.3 or --CF.sub.3 ; and k is 0 or 1 with the proviso that X.sup.3 is a single bond when A.sup.2 is a single bond, and X.sup.4 is a single bond when A.sup.3 is a single bond and k is 0. The liquid crystal composition is easily aligned by a simple rubbing method to provide a uniform monodomain and further provides wider driving voltage and temperature margins effective for providing a practical ferroelectric liquid crystal device.

    摘要: A driving method for an optical modulation device comprising matrix picture elements each formed at intersecting points of scanning lines and data lines between which a bistable optical modulation material represented by a ferroelectric liquid crsytal is interposed. The driving method comprises an erasure step of applying a voltage signal orienting the optical modulation material to the first stable state between the scanning and data lines, at all or a part of the matrix picture elements, and a writing step of sequentially applying a scanning selection signal to the scanning lines and applying an information orientation signal orienting the optical modulation material to the second stable state to the data lines in phase with the scanning selection signal.
