Measurements are reported of the splay and bend elastic constants, and the Freedericksz threshold voltages of the nematic liquid crystal 4′-butyl-4-heptyl-bicyclohexyl-4-carbononitrile (CCN47) doped with low concentrations of titanium dioxide (TiO2

We report measurements of the splay and bend elastic constants of 4′-butyl-4-heptyl-bicyclohexyl-4-carbononitrile (CCN47). We find K11 to be largely constant across the nematic range, with a value of ∼10 pN. K33 has a slightly lower value with K3

It is well known that the operating state (e.g. bend or V state) of a pi-cell must be nucleated prior to operation. For direct view liquid crystal display applications, such as direct view TV, low voltage nucleation of the operating state is necessar

We discuss the role of the Miesowicz viscosities on director reorientation in pi-cells, showing that the symmetry of this system allows for a simplification of the dynamical equations. We consider practical aspects of material optimisation for increa

The role of surface tilt in the operation of pi-cells (OCB) is discussed. We show the effect of tilt on the relative stability of the H and V states, the switching characteristics and the domain growth speed. We further study the effects of temperatu

We describe the director configurations associated with a negative dielectric anisotropy, high pretilt (typically ~ 85°) nematic cell. A number of distinct director configurations are observed, with both a transition to a spontaneously twisted state

Mukai and Nakagawa have predicted that hairpin and lightning defects correspond to compressive and dilative regions in the smetic C layer structure. Walton et al. have previously used the Helfrich-...

The hydrodynamic equations for flow past a finite barrier within a ‘bookshelf’ aligned smectic A liquid crystal are solved. Solutions are found for the flow components within (v x) and normal (v z) to the smectic layers. The behaviour of the v z

We demonstrate that the addition of small amounts of a novel azo-dye to a ferroelectric liquid crystal and illumination with low intensity (∼ 0.8 mW cm−2) UV light can result in reversible, isothermal phase transitions and dramatic changes in the
