Abstract
A radially and homogeneously aligned LC cell as a polarization controlling device is fabricated using a memory effect in an axially symmetric electrical field. Optical properties and the molecular orientation of the LC cell are investigated and the conversion property of the polarization states of the cell is discussed in detail from the molecular orientation in the cell.
