    • Brief history of ferroelectric and antiferroelectric liquid crystals is described. To reduce the symmetry of the molecular systems, two ideas were successfully used; introductions of chirality and molecular shape asymmetry. The chirality introduced into rod-shaped and disc-shaped molecular systems led to chiral smectic C and chiral discotic columnar phases. Dogleg from rod and cone or bowl from disc in molecular shapes brought about polar organization by their packing, realizing so-called… CONTINUE READING
