Abstract

The bistability in a chiral-splay nematic liquid crystal cell, which is obtained by adding a chiral additive to a splay cell, is proposed. In this paper, we describe a new horizontal way of switching between the two states of the bistable chiral-splay cell, one state being characterized by a non-twisted director field with splay, the second state showing a director-field with $180^{\circ}C$ twist.
