Ferroelectric liquid crystals (FLCs) have two attractive characteristics: very fast switching speeds and stable alignment against electrical fringe fields from neighboring pixels. At this time, we have succeeded in developing a new FLC which has an improved temperature range, with a wider SmC phase, and which is more stable, thus making it less likely to have alignment defects, for LCOS and SLM.
