PBa16 UV重合性液晶モノマーを用いたリバースモード型液晶複合素子の光スイッチング特性

抄録

We prepared the (polymer/liquid crystal) composite films consisting of nematic LC and UV curable LC with aligning treatment, which exhibited the characteristic of the reverse mode, and investigated the light switching characteristics of the composite films. In this study, we used 1,4-phenylene bis{4-[6- (acryloyloxy) hexyloxy] benzoate} (PBAHB) and its substituted compounds as a UV curable LC monomer. It was found that the composite film using PBAHB provided a less switching hysteresis than any other LC monomer.
