An addressing effective computer model for surface stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal cells

Abstract A simple uniform director model is discussed which provides, for the first time, an agreement with experimental data for the dynamic optical behaviour of SSFLC cells subject to matrix addressing waveforms. Its use in fast running, interactive software has enabled us to design new, high speed matrix addressing schemes which have been experimentally tested.
