— The light‐scattering structures in monomeric FLCs have been considered and a mechanism for the scattering on transient domains in the helix layers has been proposed. An optical response with a bistable characteristic of light scattering and transmission was realized at a defined electrical pulse regime and boundary conditions in electro‐optical FLC cells. The total time of the scattering switching on and switching off is less than 400 μsec at ±36 V. They are quite fast, and FLC cells are quite transparent to be used in a stack of 30–100 light‐scattering shutters for a volumetric screen of a 3‐D display.
