Influence of polarizing electric field on phase transition temperatures and optical transmission of PDLC films
We obtained polymer dispersed nematic liquid crystal films E7/PMMA. Using the thermally stimulated depolarization currents method and registering the optical signal simultaneously we studied the dependence of the phase transitions temperatures on the polarizing electric field. Thermal switch behavior and its dependence on polarizing electric field is obtained.
