A polymer stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal device (PSFLCD) was fabricated using thiol and acrylate in which the amount of monomer was 4%. When thiol added to acrylate
the chain-growth homopolymerization of the acrylate changed into the step-growth mechanism of a thiol-acrylate polymerization. For thiol-acrylate polymerizations
the conversion of ene functional groups was up to 84% greater than the conversion of 30% by acrylate polymerizations. The amount of monomer in the ferroelectric liquid crystal(FLC) after polymerization is lower. In the device the polymer-net parallels the rubbing direction
A PSFLCD with V-shaped electro optical characteristics
fast respond time
high contrast ratio and good stability was fabricated.
