Abstract
This study investigated the polarization anchoring energy coefficient (W-p) and the dispersion anchoring energy coefficient (W-d) Of Dye Guest-Host Fe rroelectric Liquid Crystal (DGHFLC) cells. The results showed that the pola rization anchoring energy coefficient (W-d) and the dispersion anchoring en ergy coefficient (W-d) increased with increasing dye concentration, and dec reased with increasing temperature. The rotational viscosity and memory eff ect of red dye guest-host ferroelectric liquid crystals were also studied. The experimental results showed that the rotational viscosity and memory ef fect increased with increasing dye concentration.
