Abstract

Long-term perfect bistable switching of 1,5μm thick Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal (FLC) cell oriented by photoanisotropic (PA) films was demonstrated even in2 case of a large spontaneous polarization Ps=100nC/cm2 The condition of a good SmC orientation quality,, was shown to be the existence of a nematic phase N. The bistability properties of PA-films aligned FLC cell, kept for a while in a short-curcuiting state, are easily restored, which is not observed in FLC cells oriented by usual rubbing technique.
