    Abstract:
    We report an electrically-switchable two-dimensional liquid crystal (LC) phase grating device for window display applications. The device consists of the top and bottom substrates with crossed interdigitated electrodes and vertically-aligned LCs sandwiched between the two substrates. The device, switchable between the transparent and translucent states by applying an electric field, can provide high haze by the strong diffraction effect thanks to a large spatial phase difference with little dependence on the azimuth angle. We found that the device has outstanding features, such as a low operating voltage, high transparency, and wide viewing angle characteristics in the transparent state and high haze in the translucent state. Moreover, we achieved submillisecond switching between transparent and translucent states by employing the overdrive scheme and a vertical trigger pulse.
