Dynamics of the director reorientation and light modulation in helix-free ferroelectric liquid crystals

The dynamics of the director reorientation in new helix-free ferroelectric liquid crystals (FLC) is considered. These materials are specially designed helix-free FLCs with a rather low value of the spontaneous polarization (less than 50 nC/cm2) and high viscosity (from 0.3 to 1.0 Poise), which are c...
