摘要
Surface-stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystals (SSFLCs) fabricated by adopting polymer stabilization in teems of the UV photocure of doped photocurable monoacrylates with mesogenic side chains at a temperature where the LC medium is in the SmC* phase under the simultaneous application of a monopolar electric field, exhibit monostable electrooptical characteristics with grayscale capability without threshold. We suggest a model for explaining the monostability of this polymer-stabilized SSFLC by investigating theoretically the free energy of the SSFLC before and after the photocure.
