Liquid crystal compounds, mixtures and devices

An electroclinic device having two spaced cell walls each bearing electrode structures and treated on at least one facing surface with an alignment layer, a layer of a smectic liquid crystal material enclosed between the cell walls, where the liquid crystal material contains one or more of the compounds described by formula I as defined in the specification.

The mesophase structure of chiral liquid crystalline polysiloxanes for electro-optical applications

Homopolysiloxanes poly(1) and poly(2) and copolysiloxanes poly(1-co-3) were synthesized. Their mesophase structures were investigated by X-ray diffraction, and the electron density profiles along the layer normal were derived. A linear response with the applied electric field was detected in the chiral smectic (C* or A*) phases of poly(1) and poly(2).
