ABSTRACT:
A ferroelectric liquid crystal device is by disposing between a pair of substrates a ferroelectric liquid crystal composition showing a phase transition series of isotropic.fwdarw.chiral nematic phase (N.sup.*).fwdarw.chiral smectic C phase on temperature decrease. The alignment state of the liquid crystal is improved by forming alignment control films of mutually different materials on the pair of substrates. The alignment state is improved especially when the liquid crystal composition is formulated to show a helical pitch in N.sup.* phase which exceeds three times the spacing between the pair of substrates.
