Alignment instability caused by anchoring of the in-plane directors to the rubbing direction in the V-shaped switching
(2000)In order to investigate the molecular alignment in the smectic liquid crystals showing the V-shaped switching behavior, two types of the liquid crystal cells, a sandwiched cell and an open cell, were prepared. ... -
Anomalous temperature dependence of layer spacing of de Vries liquid crystals: Compensation model
(2016)Smectic liquid crystals that exhibit temperature independent layer thickness offer technological advantages for their use in displays and photonic devices. The dependence of the layer spacing in SmA and SmC phases of de ... -
Surface molecular alignment by in-plane anchoring in the cell showing the. V-shaped switching
(2001)The surface molecular alignment in a sandwich cell showing V-shaped switching has been investigated using a photocontrolling method. The results indicate that the molecules on the rubbed surface are aligned parallel to ...
