Application of Polymer-Cell Wall Type Liquid Crystal Light Shutter (I) Reflection Type Liquid Crystal Display Devices

Abstract

Polymer Cell-Wall Type Liquid Crystal (PCW-LC) light shutter has been developed for liquid crystal-polymer complexes (LCPCs), utilizing the light scattering of cholesteric focal conic texture. This type of liquid crystal light shutter is a energy saving type because of non-polarizer usage. When this type of light shutter is utilized for reflection type liquid crystal display, the saving of energy will become great. At first, an apparatus which can measure reflected light intensity against angle has been constructed.
