Static and dynamic effects of a fast bistable device containing a ferroelectric liquid crystal are investigated theoretically. The switching mechanisms are different at low and high electric fields. There is a critical voltage which separates a bulk switching regime from the regime of domain wall motion. This threshold is determined as a function of physical device parameters.
