Abstract
Electrooptic effects in a free-standing film of ferroelectric liquid c rystal have been studied. The threshold field of the electrooptic effe ct in the free-standing film is negligible compared with that in a san dwich cell. The response time of the electrooptic effect in the free-s tanding film is much shorter than that in a sandwich cell. These effec ts have been interpreted in terms of the strong influence of the glass surface of the sandwich cell.
