Abstract
Ferroelectric liquid crystalline polymers (FLCP) were synthesized. These ferroelectrisities were confirmed directly by measuring the polarization reversal currents and other electro-optical properties. The smectic layer structure of FLCP was also studied. A chevron structure similar to that of low molecular FLC was observed even in FLCP cell. But the zigzag defects were not very sharp, which means that good orientation can be even in large area displays.Keywords
