摘要：

A new switching process was observed in surface stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystals. The switching is associated with a third stable state in addition to the well-known bistable states. The appearance of the third state is characteristic of materials with a large spontaneous polarization and is caused by minimizing induced polarization charges. The switching between each bistable state and the third state exhibits a sharp dc-threshold and hysteresis, suggesting a possible application for a switching device. AA. 10 Refs.
