Abstract: | Liquid crystals dispersed in polymer systems constitute novel class of optical materials. The precise control of the liquid
crystal droplet morphology in the polymer matrix is essentially required to meet the prerequisites of display device. Experiments
have been carried out to investigate and identify the material properties and processing conditions required for the precise
control of the droplet morphology of the dispersed liquid crystal systems. Polarization switching has been studied. Aligned
liquid crystal dispersed systems showed higher polarization over unaligned ones. |
