Abstract:The addition of a polymer network to nematic liquid crystals (LC) was a notable milestone in the research and development of liquid crystalline materials. It was found that, not only did it improve the ruggedness and stability of the resulting films and devices, but it also increased the diversity in the electro-optic characteristics, and in some cases yielded important improvements in the resulting device performance. Polymer-stabilized nematics are composites that are typically obtained by doping a relativel… Show more
