Abstract: A ferroelectric liquid crystal device of a cell structure having a suppressed increase of cell thickness along a cell side is constituted by disposing a ferroelectric liquid crystal between a pair of substrates each being provided with an electrode for driving a liquid crystal and disposed opposite to each other. Each of the substrates further has on the electrode at least one layer of an alignment control film subjected to an uniaxial aligning treatment. For suppressing a liquid crystal movement, said alignment film is formed on an uneven surface having a surface unevenness providing a difference in height of at most 50 nm (500 ANGSTROM ) and an average pitch of unevenness of at most 100 nm (1000 ANGSTROM ).

Abstract: A ferroelectric liquid crystal element comprises a ferroelectric liquid crystal and a pair of substantially parallel substrates having opposite surfaces between which the ferroelectric liquid crystal is sealed. The substrates are provided with electrodes to which voltages are applied, and are subjected to one axis parallel orientation treatment (A) so as to orient the ferroelectric liquid crystal. The ferroelectric liquid crystal shows a Chevron layer structure. The pretilt angle alpha of the liquid crystal to the orientation film is in the range 12 DEG -30 DEG , whereby a stable C1U orientation state is obtained at 90% density or more.

Abstract: A ferroelectric liquid crystal device is constituted by disposing a ferroelectric liquid crystal between a pair of substrates having thereon electrodes for voltage application and provided with uniaxial alignment axes, as by rubbing, so as to provide a high pretilt angle of at least 10 degrees. A problematic liquid crystal movement in such a high-pretilt angle ferroelectric liquid crystal device is suppressed by improving a smectic layer structure therein, inclusive of a symmetry of pretilt angles at the pair of substrate boundary surfaces. Such an improved smectic layer structure is accomplished by a realigning treatment after cooling to the chiral smectic phase or in the final stage of the cooling to the chiral smectic phase as by application of an AC electric field and/or by repetitive heating-cooling in the chiral smectic phase. The improved smectic layer structure is represented by, e.g., an X-ray diffraction peak having an increased peak area and/or a decreased half-value width.

Abstract: A liquid crystal device is constituted by a pair of oppositely disposed substrates respectively having thereon a group of stripe-shaped scanning electrodes and a group of stripe-shaped data electrodes disposed to intersect the scanning electrodes and a liquid crystal disposed between the scanning electrodes and the data electrodes so as to form a pixel at each intersection of the scanning electrodes and the data electrodes. The liquid crystal device is driven by applying a scanning selection signal sequentially to the scanning electrodes, and applying data signals to the data electrodes while phase modulating the data signals depending on given gradation data. One unit period of data signal is divided into plural sections, the data signals in each section are phase-modulated in one direction in accordance with an increase in gradation data, and the data signals in mutually adjacent sections are phase-modulated in mutually opposite directions in accordance with an increase in gradation data.
