Abstract

We try to adopt a phase separated composite organic film (PSCOF) to a ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) cell. It has been found that in order to realize the PSCOF structure, it is important to select an adequate photocure condition such as the concentration of pre-polymer in LC medium, temperature and the UV intensity. The conventional FLC cell shows the so-called bistable hysteresis loop of electrooptical effect, whereas the PSCOF-FLC cell possesses a monostability without threshold. This monostablity is able to realize LC displays which possess grayscale capability.
