Abstract

Anti-ferroelectric liquid crystal compounds (AFLCs), which possess a chiral 1,1,1-trifluoromethyl -2-alkanol moiety, have been acknowledged as important sources for high-speed switching devices. 1 Hiyama et al. reported unique AFLC molecules, which contain optically active bis(trifluoromethyl)alkanediols as the chiral core units. 2 It was shown that the anti-ferroelectric properties of the compounds is dependent on the alkyl chain length between the two ...
