A larger displacement field will turn them into layer-polarized states. At half-integer fillings, the groundstates also exhibit charge density wave (CDW) order.

For AB-AB-BC stacking, the groundstates at half-integer fillings are also 2 × 1 stripe states under a small displacement field and a larger displacement will possibly favor further translation-symmetry-breaking, depending on filling and the direction of the displacement field.
