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.
摘要:
A liquid crystal device comprises a pair of parallel substrates and a ferroelectric liquid crystal disposed between the substrates so as to have an arrangement of molecules forming a plurality of layers perpendicular to the faces of the substrates. At least one of the pair of substrates has an alignment control film formed of a modified polyvinyl alcohol resin having a function of aligning said plurality of layers preferentially in one direction. The modified polyvinyl alcohol resin film stably provides a uniform alignment state with a large tilt angle than a conventional alignment control film of polyimide or unmodified polyvinyl alcohol.

摘要:
A liquid crystal compound represented by the formula (I) below or a liquid crystal composition containing the compound is interposed between a pair of base plates. ##STR1## wherein R is an alkyl or alkoxy group having 1-18 carbon atoms; m is 0 or 1; R.sup.1 is an alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms when m is 0 and is an alkyl or alkoxy group having 1-18 carbon atoms when m is 1. The liquid crystal compound or composition is in a chiral smectic phase formed through a phase transition from a higher temperature phase. At least one of the base plates has a face to which an orientation controlling function is imparted for preferentially orienting the liquid crystal molecules in contact with the face in one direction.
摘要:
A liquid crystal device comprising a first base plate which has projections thereon and has been subjected to a uniaxial orientation treatment, a second base plate disposed oppositely spaced from the first base plate with the projections therebetween as spacers, and a liquid crystal disposed between the first and second base plates. The projections have a section taken in parallel with the base plates, and the section has a side with a length of 0-20 .mu.m in a direction perpendicular to the uniaxial orientation treatment. The projections may be in the form of rectangular pillars, cylindrical pillars, oval pillars, or hexagonal pillars.
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 ferroelectric liquid crystal device is constituted by a pair of oppositely spaced substrates each having an electrode thereon, and a layer of ferroelectric liquid crystal disposed between the substrates. The ferroelectric liquid crystal is disposed in a thickness sufficiently large to retain its helical structure in its as-injected state but is placed in a non-helical structure showing bistability by application of an AC electric field to the liquid crystal layer prior to a routine drive for normal optical modulation by application of external drive voltage signals.
摘要:
A ferroelectric liquid crystal device is by disposing between a pair of substrates a ferroelectric liquid crystal composition showing a phase transition series of isotropic.fwdarw.chiral nematic phase (N.sup.*).fwdarw.chiral smectic C phase on temperature decrease. The alignment state of the liquid crystal is improved by forming alignment control films of mutually different materials on the pair of substrates. The alignment state is improved especially when the liquid crystal composition is formulated to show a helical pitch in N.sup.* phase which exceeds three times the spacing between the pair of substrates.
