    Abstract: A liquid crystal device is constituted by a pair of oppositely disposed substrates including a first substrate having a uniaxial alignment characteristic and a second substrate having a non-uniaxial alignment characteristic and a liquid crystal disposed between the first and second substrates. The first and second substrates are controlled to have surface potentials providing a difference therebetween of less than 50 mV in terms of an absolute value at their liquid crystal-contacting surfaces. As a result, the liquid crystal device is provided with an improved symmetry of switching threshold while retaining a good liquid crystal alignment characteristic.

    Abstract: A ferroelectric liquid crystal device is constituted by a pair of substrates disposed parallel to each other and each having on its inner surface an electrode, an insulating film and an alignment control film, and a ferroelectric liquid crystal disposed between the substrates. The alignment control films on the pair of substrates are provided with uniaxial alignment axes in directions which are substantially parallel and opposite to each other. The ferroelectric liquid crystal is placed in an alignment state showing a pretilt angle alpha of 5 degrees

    Abstract: A liquid crystal composition includes a liquid crystal containing at least one mesomorphic compound having a cholesteric phase (Ch phase)-free mesomorphic phase, and at least one compound (e) having a limit of solubility in the liquid crystal and being contained in the composition in a proportion ranging from 20 % of the limit of solubility to below the limit of solubility. The liquid crystal composition may preferably include the liquid crystal containing at least one fluorine-containing mesomorphic compound (a) having a fluorocarbon terminal portion and a hydrocarbon terminal portion, and at least one achiral compound (b), a the compound (e), having a specific ring structure and a specific terminal alkyl group free from a perfluorocarbon atom. The compound having a Ch phase-free mesomorphic phase, preferably the compound (a), and the compound (e), preferably the compound (b) are effective in providing the liquid crystal composition with a layer structure of so-called bookshelf or a layer structure having a small inclination angle (closer to bookshelf structure). The liquid crystal composition is useful in improving response characteristics and display characteristics, particularly a contrast ratio, of a liquid crystal device using the liquid crystal composition.

    Abstract: A chiral smectic liquid crystal device with a good planar homogeneity in a layer normal direction can be constituted by disposing a chiral smectic liquid crystal having no cholesteric phase between a pair of substrates having mutually different characters, particularly in terms of Iso - SmA phase transition temperature. The liquid crystal may preferably have a layer spacing-changing characteristic such that it provides a layer spacing dA at a first transition point where the layer spacing of the liquid crystal begins to decrease on temperature decrease in the vicinity of a transition temperature from SmA phase to SmC* phase and a layer spacing dmin at a second transition point where the layer spacing of the liquid crystal begins to increase on further temperature decrease from the first transition point, satisfying 0.96
