Abstract

See full text

A method of selectively adjusting the intensity of reflection to obtain stable grey scale reflectance of colored light from a light modulating chiral nematic liquid crystal material is disclosed. The method comprises subjecting the material to an electric field pulse of sufficient duration and voltage to cause a first proportion of the chiral nematic material to exhibit a first optical state and a second proportion of the chiral nematic material to exhibit a second optical state, whereby the material will continuously reflect a selected intensity between a maximum and minimum that is proportional to the amount of the material in the first optical state.
