  • Title: Programmable and electrically controllable light scattering from surface-polymer stabilized liquid crystals.
    Author: Bédard-Arcand JP, Galstian T.
    Journal: J Opt Soc Am A Opt Image Sci Vis; 2012 Aug 01; 29(8):1675-9. PubMed ID: 23201884.
    Abstract:
    We report the creation and study of a polarization independent light scattering material system based on surface-polymer stabilized liquid crystals. Originally isotropic cell substrates with thin nonpolymerized reactive mesogen layers are used for the alignment of pure nonreactive nematic liquid crystals. The partial interdiffusion of the two materials followed by the application of orienting external electric and magnetic fields and the photo polymerization of the reactive mesogen allow us the control of electro-optic scattering properties of obtained cells.
