Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a high-contrast and bistable scattering mode liquid crystal light shutter. The shutter comprises two substrates; two transparent electrode layers, arranged between two substrates and respectively contacted with each corresponding substrate; an intermediate layer, interposed between two transparent electrode layers, the intermediate layer includes a plurality of spacers and a plurality of azo-liquid-crystal-doped cholesteric liquid crystals doped with nematic liquid crystals and chiral azobenzene dopants; and two vertical alignment films, respectively coated between each transparent electrode layer and the intermediate layer; wherein a transmittance of the azo-liquid-crystal-doped cholesteric liquid crystals is changed after applying external voltage with different frequencies to the two transparent electrode layers to change the structure of the azo-liquid-crystal-doped cholesteric liquid crystals, and the azo-liquid-crystal-doped cholesteric liquid crystals are kept in a scattering mode or a transparent mode to reduce the energy consumption after removing the external voltage.
