Abstract
Recent X-ray diffraction studies have revealed that the smectic C dielectric in ferroelectric liquid crystal displays quite generally has a chevron structure, instead of the simple bookshelf geometry. The influence of both the tilt of the smectic C layers and the discontinuity of the latter tilt are investigated here. An analytical expression is deduced for the transmission of normally incident light.Keywords
