In general, liquid crystal (LC) devices utilize electric fields to control the orientation state of LC molecules. However, since LC molecules also align in response to magnetic fields, a driving method combining both electric and magnetic fields is expected to enable more versatile device performance. In this study, we generated instantaneous high-intensity magnetic fields by pulse-driving a compact electromagnet and investigated the effects of magnetic-field assistance on LC molecular orientation.
