In this work we have explored the effect of the polymer concentration and the shear magnitude on the switching characteristics of a stressed liquid crystal cell comprised of a LC oriented by polymer network. The possibilities of ultra-fast switching of the cells upon removal of an electric field were experimentally demonstrated. We achieved the dark state for 11 μm cell in <1 ms. This promises great potential for application in fast optical elements based on liquid crystals.

基于向列型液晶戊基-氰基联苯的应力液晶系统的相位延迟和光学响应的​​浓度依赖性

在这项工作中，我们探索了聚合物浓度和剪切强度对由液晶定向的，由聚合物网络定向的液晶单元的开关特性的影响。实验证明了去除电场后细胞超快速切换的可能性。我们在不到1毫秒的时间内实现了11μm电池的暗态。这有望将其应用于基于液晶的快速光学元件中。
