The photo-voltaic effect in nematic liquid crystal cells mixed with polymer liquid crystal(1 and 3 %) and the dyestuffs of methyl yellow(3 %) with a semiconductor wafer used as one of the electrodes is investigated. The photo-electromotive force measured on the cell thickness and the temperature characteristics by the illumination strength of 1000 lux on the incident light of the fluorescent lamp. The photo-electromotive force increased on the thick cell compared with the thin cell. The photo-electromotive force changed the cell temperature indicated the peak values on about 50 ℃ . The cell with polymer liquid crystal of 3 % had the higher photo-electromotive force than the 1 % cell.
