Abstract: A liquid crystal device, comprising, at least a pair of substrates; and a liquid crystal material composition disposed between the pair of substrates. The liquid crystal material composition comprises, at least, a Smectic phase liquid crystal material, and a molecular alignment-enhancing agent. The Smectic phase liquid crystal material has a molecular long axis or n-director having a tilt angle to its layer normal as a bulk material, and the molecular long axis of the Smectic phase liquid crystal material aligns parallel to the pre-setting alignment direction, resulting in its long axis layer normal. The molecular alignment-enhancing agent has a molecular axis or n-director having no tilt angle to its layer normal as a bulk material, and the molecular alignment-enhancing agent has a double bond structure in its molecule.
