cyanophenylcyclohexane type, and cyanohexylcyclo-

hexane type exhibit a high response to an electric ﬁeld.

In a polymer ﬁxation system, a liquid crystal com-

posite in which a polymerizable component is mixed

in a liquid crystal, is sealed between the substrates.

The liquid crystal molecules are tilted by applying a

voltage between the substrates and polymerization is

started.

Thus, a liquid crystal layer in which the molecules

are tilted in a predetermined tilt direction is obtained,

and the tilting direction of the liquid crystal molecule

can be ﬁxed. Materials that are capable of polymeriza-

tion by heat or by UV are selected as monomers [101].

A liquid crystal monoacrylate ...
