Surface modification and the switching processes in ferroelectric liquid crystals

Pages 797-802 | Received 01 Sep 2001, Published online: 29 Jun 2010
 

Abstract

This work relates to the control of switching in ferroelectric liquid crystal devices. By considering the various parameters which influence the switching process a method of engineering both the location and threshold of domain nucleation sites has been developed. We have found that deliberate modification of the surface morphology has a profound influence on the domain switching process. This paper discusses the experimental cell construction and switching results.
