Abstract
Polarization switching properties of SSFLCs in terms of the surface an choring effect were investigated. Low frequency and low voltage triang ular waveform applications on to low, medium and high pretilt cells su ggest that the low pretilt chevron geometry cell provides stronger anc horing effect. Low pretilt quasi-bookshelf cell indicates whole LC mol ecule's switchings including the interface area. This conclusion is al so supported by the polarization switching study under the compression and expansion environment.
