Sw. Kang et al., NEW ALIGNMENT MATERIALS HAVING POLYCONJUGATED DOUBLE-BOND FOR FERROELECTRIC LIQUID-CRYSTAL DISPLAYS, Synthetic metals, 71(1-3), 1995, pp. 2213-2214
New surface alignment materials for surface stabilized ferroelectric l
iquid crystal displays(SSFLCDs) are investigated. Rubbed polyconjugate
d polymeric materials such as poly(1,4-phenylenevinylene)(PPV) are use
d as orientation films in very thin FLC cells. The electro-optical pro
perties of the SSFLC cells are examined. We have obtained realty good
optical memory. These results are also compared with those of conventi
onal SSFLC cells having rubbed polyimide orientational layers.
