Abstract
Mixtures of a non-reactive and a photo-reactive liquid crystal, both consisting of bent core molecules, were used to prepare polymer-stabilized antiferroelectric liquid crystal cells by in-situ photo-polymerization. The mixtures exhibit a larger temperature range of the antiferroelectric phase than the pure compounds. The polymer network improves the ability of uniform alignment and thus enhances the switching contrast. In addition, the polymer-network reduces the switching times, in particular the relaxation time from the field-induced state to the ground state.
