Device for low electric-field induced switching of Langmuir- Blodgett ferroelecric liquid crystal polymer films

摘要

Devices in which a Langmuir-Blodgett film of a liquid crystal polymer is disposed between electrodes on the surface of a substrate exhibit fast ferroelectric switching in response to an electric field generated by the electrodes, and Langmuir-Blodgett films of a liquid crystal polymer exhibit pyroelectric properties even at thicknesses below 10-15 &mgr;m.
