Spiral Pitch Control in Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Layers with Hybrid Boundary Conditions

The optical spectra of the cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) layers under conditions of hybrid anchoring show a short-wave shift under a pulsed electric field. This behavior is anomalous because it is associated with a decrease in the pitch of the cholesteric spiral, which is atypical at conditions w...
