Controllable Narrow Droplet Distribution In Two-Dimensional PDLC Films Cured By Pulsed Laser UV Irradiation

Polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLC) electro‐optical material was produced by photopolymerization‐induced phase separation method using pulsed laser UV irradiation. An effective narrow distribution of micron size nematic droplets in a monolayer was achieved. The static electro‐optical characteristics of the formed PDLC material were tested as a function of the LC droplet size.
