摘要：

The polymer rubbed, polar surface anchoring effect in a thin homogeneously aligned sample of large-core (high-tilt)-angle ferroelectric liquid crystal which undergoes an isotropic-chiral nematic-smectic C* phase transition is reported herein. It has been found that symmetric switching characteristics can be obtained by applying an appropriate bias field to the samples even though the difference between the polar anchoring energy on two surfaces is quite large. The temperature dependence of the anchoring strength is also studied in the smectic C* phase.
