Abstract
The state of aggregation and optical contrast of poly(vinyl chlorich, )(PVC)!nematic liquid crystal(LC) composite film liave been studied for a wide range(30~70 wt% LC)of film composition. In addition. effects of temperature, frequency and voltage of the applied AV electric field on the film transmittance have heen measured for a film containing (6O wt % I, C, which showed maximum optical contrast. For this particular composition of film, tlw thn'shold voltage was smalkr than .40$V_{p-p}$ at I kHZ, $25^{\circ}C$, and the rise time and decay time were smalle, r than l0Oms at 100$V_{p-p}$, I kHz, and $25^{\circ}C$.
PVC/액정 복합막의 응집상태 및 전기광학 특성을 넓은 막조성(30-70wt% LC)에 걸쳐 조사하였다. 또한 optical contrast가 가장 좋은 40/60(PVC/LC)중량조성으로 된 복합막에 대해서는 온도 및 외부교류전계의 주파수 및 전압응답을 측정한 결과 문턱 주파수는 20$V_{p-p}$ 이하(1 kHz, $25^{\circ}C$), rise time및 decay time은 모두 10ms 이하(V$100 _{p-p}$ , 1 kHz, $25^{\circ}C$)였다.
