AbstractSome classes of liquid crystalline monoacrylates having no methylene spacers in a side chain have been prepared. The liquid crystalline monoacrylates have effects to reduce the driving voltage and the hysteresis for a light scattering display of Polymer Network liquid crystals prepared by photo-polymerization-induced phase separation.By photo-polymerization of a chiral monoacrylate monomer in a nematic liquid crystalline host including a black dichroic dye, a polarizer free reflective Spiral Polymer Aligned Nematic (SPAN) Guest Host (GH) LCD exhibiting a low driving voltage has been fabricated. The effect of the spiral polymers made of some kinds of chiral monoacrylates for a Super Twisted Nematic (STN) LCD using SPAN liquid crystals is discussed.UV-curable liquid crystals showing nematic phases at room temperature have been developed. By in situ photo-polymerization, the UV-curable liquid crystals can be utilized for the retardation film with high quality and good thermal stability. The fabrication of various kinds of retardation film using the UV-curable liquid crystals is discussed.UV-curable liquid crystals having isotropic-nematic-smectic A phase sequence have been developed and the photo-polymerization at the state of their uniaxially oriented smectic A phases at room temperature is discussed. The polymerized film is optically uniaxial and transparent without light scattering.

The polymer stabilized liquid crystals (PSLC) films was prepared subsequently based on the mesogenic diacrylate monomer 4,4’-bis[6-(acryloyloxy)-hexyloxy]biphenyl (BAB6). The effects of BAB6 on the morphology of polymer network as well as the electro-optical properties of the PSLC films were investigated. The helical structure of liquid crystals was observed in the morphology of polymer network by SEM. Further, a single switching process was observed at lower monomer concentration in this study compared with the former publication. When BAB6 concentration reached 7 %, the response time and contrast ratio of PSLC film were 7 ms and 16.8, respectively.
