Enhancement of Optical Transmittance of Polymer-Dispersed Liquid Crystal Cells

Abstract:

Enhancement of optical transmittance of polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) cells was investigated by introducing a modification into the substrates. Surface treatment by rubbing was performed on both network-type and droplet-type PDLCs to investigate the effect on the optical transmittance of the cells. Differences in the transmittance of the PDLC in the polymer matrix were observed by introducing rubbing effect on network-type PDLC but not on droplet-type PDLC. These phenomena might be used to distinguish the application field of both types of PDLC cells by enhancing optical transmittance and scattering properties.
