Abstract
Thin films of a chiral side-chain polymer with a ferroelectric phase w ere deposited on a substrate by spin coating. Electro-optic switching in the films were observed by applying an external field using in-plan e electrodes. Characteristics of the switching are presented, together with an analysis of the switching dynamics that takes into account th e inhomogenous field distribution in the active area.
