The model may be used to predict the TLAFLC dynamic behavior. The electrical response in the time domain of TLAFLC cells upon certain hypothesis has been obtained. Optical characteristics related to these electrical features have been derived as well. The equivalent circuit model reasonably reproduces the voltage across the cell, switching currents and the optical hysteresis obtained by experimental methods. The procedure for determining the voltage-dependent capacitance due to induced spontaneous polarization is shown. On the basis of the proposed model, we also suggest a number of clues to optimize some electrical parameters of liquid crystal materials as well as driving schemes.
