Abstract
Alignmental deterioration in a homeotropically aligned cell was investigated, and the effects of nematic liquid crystal compositions and surface treatments of electrodes on the deterioration were examined. It is concluded that the deterioration rate is determined by the type of ionic doping compound and the surface properties of treated electrodes rather than by the electric conductivity of liquid crystal cells. It was found that the chemical structure of the cation of doping compounds had a strong influence on deterioration. This fact suggests that the deterioration itself is directly related to some catholic electrochemical reaction.
