26 April 1996Polymer-dispersed liquid crystals: liquid crystal/polymer composites as electro-active materials
Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystals (PDLC) are materials formed by dispersions
of liquid crystal (LC) droplets in a polymer matrix (1)• These materials are electro-optical
active films which can be switched from a light scattering state (off state) to a transparent
state (on state) by the application of a voltage (2)• The embedded mesophase within the
droplets can be nematic (N), cholesteric (N*), chiral smectic C (SC*), or antiferroelectric
(SCA*) (2)
