摘要
Polymer-dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs), composed of micro-sized liquid crystal domains embedded in a continuous polymer matrix, are an important class of materials that hold promise for many opto-electronic applications. In this review, based on an analysis of research publications appearing between 2006 and 2012, preparation of conventional PDLCs and nanoparticles-doped PDLCs, their properties, and their application for opto-electronic devices are described.
