Several aspects of polymer dispersed liquid crystal(PDLC) film properties make them interesting for display application. Most versions of PDLC materials are able to modulate light without the use of polarizers, which offers advantages in optical throughput(brightness) and viewing angle compared to polarizer-based display. In this papers, we attemped to doe minimum of remaining liquid crystals at polymer network for the liquid crystal-polymer composite (LCPC) films. In results, best phase separation behaviors turned out liquid crystal/monomer/oligomer mixture system.

We fabricated a stressed liquid crystal cell by mixing liquid crystal with a photo-polymer. By carefully choosing the mixing ratio between liquid crystal and the polymer, and by suitable mechanical shearing of the substrates, we demonstrated feasible electro optical properties for displays.

As the physical properties of nematic liquid crystals vary with respect to temperature, the performances of liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are highly dependent on temperature. Additionally, it is well known that the electro-optic characteristics of LCDs, such as transmittance and threshold voltage, also rely on the LCD switching modes. The temperature dependence of the electro-optic characteristics of the wide-viewing-angle LCD modes, such as in-plane switching (IPS), multidomain vertical alignment by patterned electrode (PVA), and fringe-field switching (FFS), have been studied, and the results showed that the FFS mode has lower temperature dependence compared to the IPS and PVA modes. Since the liquid crystal (LC) reorients in different ways in each mode, this result is associated with the temperature dependence of LC's bend and twist elastic constants, and also with the position of the main reorientation, either in the middle or on the surface of the LC layer.

The authors report methods of fabrication singlelayer color cholesteric liquid crystal displays (CLCDs). A single-layer CLCD has been prepared from a polymerstabilized cholesteric liquid crystal. The unique feature of the polymer stabilization is in that the electrically switched colors preserve high reflectivity. A bistable single-layer CLCD has been prepared by the formation of polymer barrier walls and light-tuned cholesteric pitches to reflect blue, green and red color sub-pixels.

We demonstrated stability-enhanced liquid crystal (LC) displays using pixel-isolated LC mode in which LC molecules are isolated in pixel by horizontal polymer layer and vertical polymer wall. The device shows good electro-optic properties against external point or bending pressure due to the polymer structures. The polymer wall acts as supporting structure from mechanical pressure and prevents the cell gap from bending. Moreover, the polymer layer acts as an adhesive to ensure a tight attachment of the two substrates. We present herein various methods for producing polymer structures by using an anisotropic phase separation from LC and polymer composites or patterned micro-structures for stable flexible liquid crystal displays.

Effects of liquid-crystal droplets size on electro-optical properties of the polymer dispersed liquid crystals are investigated experimentally The liquid crystal droplets size was varied by controlling the Laser power for phase separation and LC/oligomer composition ratio. Electro-optical switching voltage is dependent on the LC/oligomer composition ratio and liquid crystal droplet size. The experimental results showed droplet size will be small and saturation voltage is increased but rise time will be short at high power illumination laser light for phase separation.

There are various application of liquid crystal materials to devices, especially, blue phase liquid crystal (BPLC) and nano-structured liquid crystal mixture have been studied recently because BPs existing temperature range has been expanded by polymer-stabilization and liquid crystal has been confined in room which has certain coherence length so that their particular characters, such as fast response time and optically isotropic state at no electric field, could apply to advanced liquid crystal display devices. However, there is an crucial problem which is high operating voltage from low Kerr constant and limited electric field utilization using in-plain electric field. In this paper, we will analyze cell structure in the way of using electric field and show effective electric field utilization to reduce operating voltage.

The photorefractive (PR) effect in liquid crystals sandwiched between photoconductive polymer layers was first studied by Ono et al. They reported that the PR effect vanished at steady state If there were not insulating layers because no charge trapping occurred in the photoconductive poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) layers. However we observed a significant PR effect in the polymer layered liquid crystal (PLLC) system where a liquid crystal layer doped with fullerene is sandwiched between two photoconductive PVK layers.
