Abstract For the first time carbohydrate derivatives were studied as dopants for calamitic smectic phases. Fast switching ferroelectric cells could be realized, and electroclinic effects were observed. By inversion of configuration at a chiral center of these compounds switching times, solubility, and helical twisting power vary by orders of magnitude. The studied derivatives showed modest solubility properties.

This paper examines different applications of ferroelectric liquid crystal devices based on photo-alignment. Successful application of the photo-alignment technique is considered to be a critical breakthrough. A variety of display and photonic devices with azo dye aligned ferroelectric liquid crystals is presented: smart glasses, liquid crystal Pancharatnam–Berry phase optical elements, 2D/3D switchable lenses, and laser therapy devices. Comparison of electro-optical behavior of ferroelectric liquid crystals is described considering the performance of devices. This paper facilitates the optimization of device design, and broadens the possible applications in the display and photonic area.
