A ferroelectric liquid crystal composition comprising (A) a ferroelectric liquid crystal material and (B) a non-liquid-crystalline polymeric material;
a liquid crystal optical device comprising
a layer of the ferroelectric liquid crystal composition, the (A) ferroelectric liquid crystal material in the ferroelectric liquid crystal composition has been uniaxially oriented and
two substrates which
support the layer of the ferroelectric liquid crystal composition between them and
carry on their surfaces facing each other their respective electrode layers, at least one of the electrode layers being a transparent electrode layer; and
a method of producing the liquid crystal optical device, which method comprises orienting a liquid crystal optical device yet to be oriented which includes
a layer of the ferroelectric liquid crystal composition and
two flexible substrates which
support the layer of the ferroelectric liquid crystal composition between them and
carry on their surfaces facing each other their respective electrode layers,
by subjecting the liquid crystal optical device yet to be oriented to a bending treatment.
