A study of the conformational distribution of substituted 2,2'-spirobiindan-1,1'-diones in ferroelectric liquid crystals

A study of the conformational distribution of substituted 2,2'-spirobiindan-1,1'-diones in ferroelectric liquid crystals

Ferroelectric liquid crystals (FLCs) exhibit a bulk electric polarization (PS) that can be coupled to an electric field to produce an ON-OFF light shutter, and are being investigated as an alternative to nematic liquid crystals in display applications. Commercial FLC mixtures normally consist of a...
