Enhancement of the transparency in the memory-state of polymer dispersed liquid crystal cells

Abstract

Combinations of liquid crystals and polymer materials are investigated to enhance the transparencyin the memory-state of polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) cells. Refractive indices of each material influence on the transmittance in the memory-state, as well as that in the off-state. The cell thickness and concentration of the liquid crystal in the PDLC cell are also discussed.
