    摘要: A liquid crystal device comprising a pair of base plates and a ferroelectric chiral smectic liquid crystal disposed between the base plates. The pair of base plates being secured to each other to leave a spacing which is small enough to release the spiral structure of the ferroelectric chiral smectic liquid crystal due to the wall effect of the base plates. Fibrous spacers having a diameter d (.mu.m) and an average length l satisfying the relationship of 3.ltoreq.l/d.ltoreq.100 are disposed together with the ferroelectric chiral smectic liquid crystal.

    摘要: A liquid crystal device, comprises: a pair of opposite electrodes and a ferroelectric liquid crystal showing a first and a second alignment state depending on the direction of an electric field applied thereto and disposed between the opposite electrodes. The ferroelectric liquid crystal is placed in a stated of causing a relaxation such that, when a voltage pulse equal to the threshold is applied between the opposite electrodes, the ferroelectric liquid crystal causes a change in its molecular alignment state from one molecular alignment state toward the other molecular alignment state and continues the change in its molecular alignment state even after the removal of the voltage pulse until the change reaches a saturation in a certain period.

The ferroelectric liquid crystal yields two stable orientation states providing two average molecular axes forming an angle 2.theta. therebetween under no electric field. The ferroelectric liquid crystal yields two states providing two average molecular axes forming an angle 2 .circle.H therebetween. The ferroelectric liquid crystal at the non-pixel portions forms an orientation state providing an average molecular axis forming an angle .theta. or -.theta..

    摘要: A liquid crystal device includes a pair of substrates each having a uniaxial orientation as provided by rubbing or oblique vapor deposition, and a ferroelectric liquid crystal disposed between the substrates. The uniaxial orientation axes respectively provided to the pair of substrates intersect each other at an intersection angle .theta.. The ferroelectric liquid crystal molecules may have such an alignment tendency that their axes are twisted along a normal to the substrates in the absence of an electric field when they are disposed between two substrates having the same direction of uniaxial orientation axes. The liquid crystal device may be subjected to an AC application pretreatment. The uniaxial orientation axes respectively provided to the base plates may have mutually different orientation controlling powers.
