The electro-optic properties of a new ferroelectric liquid crystal tha
t shows isotropic (I)-chiral smectic-C (SmC) phase transition are stu
died. This exhibits bistable electro-optic switching in the SmC phase
. The dependence of the rotational viscosity versus temperature are de
termined. (C) 1996 Society of Photo-Optical instrumentation Engineers.
