Abstract: Liquid crystalline compositions comprising dielectrically negative nematic liquid crystalline materials from about 0.4 percent by weight to about 3 percent by weight optically active materials, in contact with an aligning agent, and characterized by a helical pitch to layer thickness ratio of from about 1 to about 10 are transformed from an initially homeotropic or homogeneous texture into a novel stable spherulitic texture upon removal of an applied D.C. or low frequency A.C. electrical field. Erasure and imaging of the novel spherulitic texture are disclosed.
