“…of NPs have been proposed in literature. Depending on the relative amount of LC and of NPs, different structural configurations can be obtained (Yaroshchuk and Dolgov 2006) (Fig. 17), but the most interesting for LCD applications are obtained for a few NP volume fraction not exceeding 3 %.…”

“…17), but the most interesting for LCD applications are obtained for a few NP volume fraction not exceeding 3 %. NPs act as nucleation centers during the PIPS process (Yaroshchuk and Dolgov 2006), thus increasing PDLC stability over time. The effect of BaTiO 3 NPs on the size and shape of droplets is not significant (Liang and Lee 2011), while in other cases, as for the use of LC-grafted NPs (Rachet et al 2007), this leads to a premature stop of the droplet growing process, thus decreasing their size (Fig.…”

Digital displays nowadays play an essential and ubiquitous role in everyday life, and, in several applications, flexibility (i.e., the possibility to bend the device) or, at least, bending capability (i.e., the possibility to manufacture devices on a curved surface) is desirable or required. Polymer-dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs) and other liquid crystal/polymer compounds are an interesting class of composite materials for the realization of flexible displays, since they couple the electrooptical properties of liquid crystals to the mechanical properties of polymers and can take full advantage from electronic properties of conducting copolymers. In this chapter, we will briefly discuss preparation techniques and then illustrate the working principle corresponding to different liquid crystal configurations (nematic, chiral, smectic, ferroelectric, holographic) with some examples

“…Therefore, polymer dispersed liquid crystals and their high-tech properties have attracted considerable attention for the application. In the high-tech properties, the liquid crystal that is doped with something [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] is part of techniques. N. Kamanina et al [9] reported a method to controlled the transmittance of liquid crystals and polymers by doping C60 to PDLC, thus, meeting the desired holographic recording function.…”

“…When the NPs-BaTiO 3 dopant was introduced, there was a refractive index mismatch. When the incoming light was incident in the same direction as the applied electric field (perpendicular to the cell surface), a small portion of the light was scattered, resulting in a slight decline in the value of T s (Yaroshchuk & Dolgov, 2007). On the other hand, the driving voltage relationship for the PDLC is given as (Drzaic, 1998):…”
