Plasma beam procedure earlier adapted for alignment of nematic liquid crystals and reactive mesogens is successfully applied for alignment of ferroelectric liquid crystals. Highly uniform alignment of “chevron” structure (before electrical treatment) and “quazi bookshelf” structure (after electrica...
