Notes:
Ferroelectric liquid crystalline polymers (FLCPs) were synthesized. These ferroelectricities were confirmed directly by measuring polarization reversal currents and other electro-optical properties. The smectic layer structure of FLCP was also studied. A chevron structure similar to that of low molecular weight FLC was observed even in an FLCP cell; but the zigzag defects were not so sharp, which means that it is easy to obtain a good orientation even in large-area displays.
