Abstract
Molecular orientation of a chemically linked rod-disc liquid crystalline (LC) molecule (RD12) in an antiparallel rubbed LC cell was investigated under vertically applied alternative current (AC) electric fields. Upon varying vertical AC electric fields from the initial state (O V) to a fixed voltage ranging between 2.5 V and 5.0 V, it was found that RD12 responded to the electric field with two-steps. Based on our experimental results, it was concluded that molecular frustrations of RD12 under the vertical AC electric field occurred as a result of the competition among rods attached to both sides of the disc.
