A compound having ferroelectric liquid crystal properties of the formula: STR1 wherein A is the residue of a liquid crystal material or a liquid crystal compatible material; X is O or S; n is 0 or 1; Y is any inert group which does not cause the melting point of the compound of Formula I to exceed 200° C.; R1 is selected from H, C1-4 -alkyl and halogen; and R2 is C1-4 -alkyl or halogen; provided that R1 and R2 are different. In a suitable environment the compound is capable of alignment in two metastable states and is therefore suitable for use in multiplex-addressed, liquid crystal devices, such as flat bed large area screens and displays.
