Abstract
We have fabricated a new ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) display that exhibits monostable electrooptical characteristics with high contrast ratio (160:1) owing to freedom from defects, grayscale capability without threshold, and fast response (70 µs). A FLC(ZLI-4654-100, Merck) 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 simultaneous application of a monopolar electric field.
