Abstract
In a known display cell with the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) and interdigital electrodes on one of the glass substrates, the “In-Plane Switching” (IPS) mode is implemented, in which the NLC main optical axis reorients in a plane parallel to substrates, providing the most correct color reproduction at different angles view, up to 178 ° horizontally and vertically. Unfortunately, the creation of interdigital metal electrodes complicates and increases the technological process cost and causes a decrease in image contrast. At the same time, experimental results and calculations based on classical electro-optics of crystals indicate that electrooptical switching in the IPS mode is a natural and intrinsic feature of a conventional (with continuous electrodes) display cell with a planar-oriented layer of the ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC), in which the effect of the deformed (by the electric field) helix FLC nanostructure is realized (DHF effect). In such a cell, the reorientation of the main optical axis under the influence of a weak electric field also occurs in the substrate plane if the FLC has a small pitch (about 100 nm or less) and a large tilt angle of molecules in the layer (about 38 ° or more). The dependences of the FLC cell light transmittance measured in this work, confirmed the achievement of the IPS electro-optical mode in the DHF FLC cell; moreover, the light modulation frequency was 1 kHz. Thus, while maintaining all the advantages of the IPS mode known in NLC, its implementation in FLC allows additionally obtaining technological advantages and multiple increase in modulation frequency.

Summary
ПОЖИДАЕВ Е.П., ТКАЧЕНКО Т.П., КУЗНЕЦОВ А.В., КОМПАНЕЦ И.Н. Аннотация. В то же время экспериментальные результаты и расчеты, основанные на классической электрооптике кристаллов, свидетельствуют, что электрооптическое переключение в режиме IPS является естественной и неотъемлемой особенностью обычной (со сплошными электродами) дисплейной ячейки с планарноориентированным слоем сегнетоэлектрического жидкого кристалла (СЖК), в котором реализуется эффект деформированной электрическим полем спиральной наноструктуры СЖК (DHF-эффект). В такой ячейке переориентация главной оптической оси под воздействием слабого электрического поля тоже происходит в плоскости подложек, если СЖК имеет малый шаг (около 100 нм и менее) и большой угол наклона молекул в слое (около 38 ° и более). Ключевые слова: IPS, переключение главной оптической оси, сегнетоэлектрический жидкий кристалл, электрооптический эффект деформированной спиральной наноструктуры. Электрооптическое переключение главной оптической оси спиральной наноструктуры сегнетоэлектрического жидкого кристалла в планарно-ориентированной дисплейной ячейке.
