摘要
The polarization switching current observed in a cell filled with a liquid crystal, which normally takes a nematic phase, aligned using highly polarized orientation films is shown to reveal a saturation versus the amplitude of the applied voltage depending on the pretilt angle. This behavior is explained by solving an equation for pretilted and anchored nematic medium having a longitudinal permanent dipole moment.
