Description
Summary:The ferroelectric liquid crystal viz. 2-butyloxyethyl(R)-2-[4-(4”-decyloxybiphenyl-4’-carbonyloxy) phenyloxy] propionate and 8wt% polymethyl methacrylet (PMMA) composite has been synthesized using the consolidation of solvent and thermally prompted phase separation techniques. The optical texture and scanning electron microscopic studies assure formation of the polymer stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal (PSFLC) film. The electro optic characteristics of pure FLC in the surface stabilized (SSFLC) geometry have also been presented along with polymer stabilized counterpart for comparison. PSFLC is found to show much greater gray-level capability, ~44% faster response in fall time and ~17% slower rise time compared to the corresponding SSFLC.
