ABSTRACT:
A new type of non-volatile bistable liquid crystal device is disclosed. The device has substrates spaced apart by such a distance that the molecular arrangement of the liquid crystal moaterial is helical and is arranged such that the liquid crystal molecules can selectively take up either of two optically anisotropic stable conditions in dependence puon an applied electric field. The transition between the two stable conditions takes place via an intermediate conditon in which the liquid crystal molecules are reearranged in helical form and represent an optically isotropic condition.
