Abstract
We present the experimental observation of a soft smectic liquid crystal phase in a three-component liquid crystal mixture reported to exhibit V-shaped switching. Unlike the layer compression modulus B of the usual smectic phase, B of the soft smectic phase has a peculiar temperature and frequency dependence. It was found that this characteristic feature is one of the main driving force to realize an ideal V-shaped switching.
