Previous studies show that symmetric bimesogens are particularly suited for flexoelectro-optic switching. By introducing two ester linking groups into the molecular structure of a symmetric bimesogen, it was hypothesised that the flexoelectric properties will be enhanced significantly because of the resulting increase in the dipole moment of the molecules. This was found to be the correct; however, the inclusion of ester linking groups reduced the liquid crystallinity of the material.
