Abstract

A liquid crystal device comprising ferroelectric liquid crystal material aligned by a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) network layer (18) under 20 nm thick, which itself was aligned by a photo-oriented linearly photopolymerized (LPP) layer (16) under 20 nm thick, exhibits low voltage drop over the aligning layer and has a remarkable contrast ratio.
