Abstract
We have fabricated a new ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) display th at exhibits monostable electrooptical characteristics with high contra st ratio (160:1) owing to freedom from defects, grayscale capability w ithout threshold, and fast response (70 mu s). A FLC(ZLI-4654-100, Mer ck) is subjected to polymer stabilization by UV photocure of a mixture of doped monoacrylates with a mesogenic side chain particularly at a temperature where the LC medium is in the SmC phase under the simulta neous application of a monopolar electric field.
