ABSTRACT

In order to realize permanent bistable state in a bistable chiral-splay nematic liquid crystal device, influences of liquid crystal parameters are analyzed. We found that large twist elastic constant and low cell gap are efficient to increase the retention time of the metastable twist state, which is understood by the study of the azimuthal anchoring strength.
