Possibilities of application of polymer-dispersed liquid crystals in information displays

Abstract

The prospects of application of polymer-dispersed liquid crystals in information displays are discussed. The brief information regarding methods of preparation of such composites is given. The main electro-optical effects observed in different LC dispersed phases and the effect of PDLC morphology on their electro-optical properties are presented. The advantages and disadvantages of PDLC as materials for construction of different kinds of displays are discussed and the promising applications are shown.
