摘要
We discuss recent advances in reflective holographically-formed polymer dispersed liquid crystal materials in the context of their suitability for reflective display applications. A dual-domain phenomenon resulting in a broadened reflection peak is presented. A simple phenomenological model is developed to explain this unusual effect. The effect of monomer functionality on the reflectance characteristics of these materials is also discussed. Monomers of effective functionality similar to 4.5 yield the brightest holograms, however, the data suggests that these systems are currently far from optimal.
