Ferroelectric Nematic liquid crystals offer new opportunities for electro-optic science and applications, based on strong coupling of director orientation to applied electric field, afforded by spontaneous ferroelectric polarization. Here we discuss self-interaction and interfacial electrostatic effects that must be considered in order to develop attractive and useful ferroelectric nematic electro-optics.
