Stability of liquid crystal alignment to the electric field

  • Published : 2006.08.22

Abstract

We observed the destruction of the liquid crystal alignment with the repeating scan of strong DC electric field. The strong electric field seems to force the alignment to be scarred permanently and it accumulated with the repetition. In this report we connected alignment destruction behavior and electric field strength to obtain information on the alignment strength. And we compared the behavior between different alignment techniques.
