Abstract
Stressed liquid crystals, SLCs, consist of a lowdensity polymer network dispersed in a nematic host. We induced stress by shearing the material. Alignment layers are not required because the liquid crystal director uniformly aligns along the direction of shear. The shearing stress also eliminates light scattering and results in sub-millisecond switching speeds, making them good candidates for video display applications.
