Abstract(in English) We fabricated flexible reflective ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) devices monostabilized by polymer walls and networks. To control the thickness of the thin composite film of FLC and polymer, etched spacers were formed on a plastic film substrate by photolithography. Subsequently, the substrate was uniformly coated with an FLC/monomer solution by flexographic printing method. An insulator layer was also formed on another substrate to avoid short circuit between ITO electrodes. After lamination of the coated substrate and the substrate with the insulator layer was performed, the polymer walls and networks were formed in the FLC by two-step irradiation of ultraviolet light. A fabricated reflective FLC device sandwiched by a polarizer and a mirror film exhibited mechanical flexibility and light modulation with grayscale capability.
