Abstract:
A method of fabricating a ferroelectric liquid crystal display, comprising:providing an upper substrate and a lower substrate; forming alignment films on the upper and lower substrates; joining the upper substrate with the lower substrate; interposing a ferroelectric liquid crystal having a light-curing monomer between the joined upper and lower substrates; applying an initial DC voltage across the liquid crystal to initialize an alignment of the liquid crystal; subsequently applying a second DC voltage across the liquid crystal, wherein said second DC voltage has a polarity opposite to that of the initial DC voltage, and said second DC voltage has a value such that the molecules of the liquid crystal are positioned at a center of a virtual cone of the initialized alignment; and irradiating light onto the ferroelectric liquid crystal such that the light-curing monomer forms a polymer network.
