A. Mochizuki et al., SURFACE ANCHORING INFLUENCE ON POLARIZATION SWITCHING PROPERTIES OF SSFLCS, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals science and technology. Section A, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals, 304, 1997, pp. 351-356
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.
