Stability studies on polymer dispersed liquid crystal films

Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal(PDLC) is a class of electroscattering materials exhibiting very promising properties for display device applications. For the last few years, the electrooptical properties of PDLC have improved drastically to use projection device with high brightness. We have studied stability of PDLC films which formed by ultraviolet initiated photopolymerization and liquid crystal phase separation. We evaluated several stability items in PDLC films such as running and environment test, accelerated life time at low and elevated temperature, voltage holding ratio(VHR) variations according to UV exposing time and temperature.
