Local layer structures and their formation process in a half-V-shaped switching ferroelectric liquid crystal (HV-FLC) were investigated by means of synchrotron X-ray microdiffraction. The HV-FLC is a FLC that has a cholesteric–chiral smectic C (Ch–SmC*) phase transition sequences. X-ray microdiffraction measurements revealed that the SmC* phase in the HV-FLC was composed of asymmetric chevron and inclined-bookshelf structures. In addition, temperature-controlled X-ray diffraction measurements showed that the transient layer structures appeared during the Ch to SmC* phase transition.
