Abstract

Here we report the effect of photo-spacer and polymer wall on the mechanical stability of the polymer-stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal (PSFLC) system. A better bending tolerance of the PSFLC cell was obtained when the polymer wall was formed parallel to the rubbing direction. In addition, the effect of the distance between photo-spacer columns as well as that of the distance between polymer wall columns on the mechanical stability of the liquid crystal was examined.
