Lateral field effects on the horizontal switching of the bistable chiral splay nematic device

Abstract

In this paper, with a bistable curve of the bistable chiral splay nematic liquid crystal (BCSN LC) device, we clarify how the twist-to-splay transition is achieved under a horizontal field. By a sufficiently high horizontal electric field, the bistable property becomes monostable. The transition can be achieved.
