Like smart glass, the functionality of smart film relies on polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) technology. This film contains liquid crystal droplets that are embedded within a polymer layer.

The emergence of liquid crystal ... liquid crystals, which can alter their helical pitch, and thus their reflected color, in response to external stimuli. By spraying the coating onto an elastic ...

Researchers have demonstrated, for the first time, SPDC in a liquid crystal. The results open a path to a new generation of quantum sources: efficient and electric-field tunable. Spontaneous ...

They eventually settled on a unique type of polymer fiber; a material known as liquid crystal elastomer (LCE). Liquid crystals are made up of a series of slightly crosslinked molecules that can ...

The evaporation process created a flexible arrangement of crystals that could then be applied over a white ethyl cellulose sheet to create a bi-layered iridescent film. The Cambridge researchers ...

However, such films are difficult to recycle because they are made of multiple plastic layers, making them difficult to separate. Cellulose is the main substance in the walls of plant cells ...

Structural colors emanating from chiral nematic liquid crystalline solutions of hydroxypropyl cellulose are defined by the configuration ... difference and utilized to fabricate monochromatic films ...

TFT-LCD panel maker Innolux has undertaken zero-waste and zero-pollution automation of its liquid crystal extraction process, according to the company. Innolux, through technological cooperation ...
