✦ Synopsis


In cholesteric liquid crystals the application of an electric field parallel to the helii axis can change the wavelength of selective reflection. For decreasing pitch of the studied mixtures, the colour shift becomes more stable against the field-induced transformation of the initial Grandjean structure into a confocal texture. In compounds with a low crossover frequency, a field induced increase of the pitch was observed at the switching between low and high frequency fields. The investigations aIlow new conclusions on the origin of the colour shift.

In cholesterinischen Fliissigkriitallen kann das Anlegen eines elektrischen Feldes parallel zur Helixachse die Wellenlhge der selektiven Reflektion verschieben. Die Farbverschiebung wird fiir kleiner werdende Ganghohen der untersuchten Mischungen stabiler gegeniiber der feldinduzierten Umwandlung der anfhglichen Grandjean-Struktur in eine fokal-konische Textur. In Verbindungen mit einer niedrigen IsotropieFrequenz wurde beim Schalten zwischen niedriger und hoher Frequenz eine feldinduzierte Vergrohrung der Ganghohe beobachtet . Die Untersuchungen erlauben neue SchluOfolgerungen zur Ursache der Farbverschiebung.
