Electrically driven multi-stable cholesteric liquid crystals can be used to adjust the
transmittance of incident light. Compared with the traditional liquid crystal optical devices …

In this article, bistable cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) light shutters have been fabricated and
the effect of dichroic dye on their morphological and electro-optical properties was studied …

Bistable liquid crystal devices, which require electricity only at the switching processes of the
two states, have advantages in energy saving and safety compared with monostable liquid …

Bistable polymer-stabilized cholesteric liquid crystal (LC) devices have been extensively
researched due to their energy-saving benefits. Compared to devices with merely …

Electrically tunable smart window has been fabricated by using green synthesized Zinc
oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) dispersed in cholesteric liquid crystals (CLC). The fabricated …

A short pitch cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) acts as one-dimensional photonic crystals. It
was widely studied for electro-optical switching devices. Although it was proposed for a …

In this paper, we promote a new polymer microsphere-filled cholesteric-liquid crystal (PFLC)
system sandwiched between two flexible substrates for making a robust composite film with …

Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was employed as an ionic dopant dispersed into
a nematic liquid crystal characterized by its negative dielectric anisotropy. The …

Optically switchable bistable guest–host displays in chiral-azobenzene-and dichroic-dye-
doped cholesteric liquid crystals (CA-DD-CLCs) are demonstrated. The CA-DD-CLCs in a …
