Abstract
Enhancement of bistability and response speed in a surface-stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal (SSFLC) electrooptic device was realized by doping a charge-transfer complex (CTC) into an FLC host. These characteristics were found to be effective for pulsed voltage waveforms whose duration exceeded several 100 µs depending on LC materials and aligning polymer films. The polarity of the electrooptic response to the pulsed waveforms was shown to be inverted in comparison with an undoped device, depending on the polar nature of polyimide substrates.Keywords
