Abstract
As we move from the industrial age to the information age, nowadays, the opportunity to access personal information in public increases as personal computers (PCs), cell phones, automated teller machines (ATM) and other portable display devices have come into wider use, so it is well suited for these liquid crystal displays (LCDs) to switch between wide viewing angle (WVA) (share mode) and narrow viewing angle (NVA) (privacy mode). In this review, we have summarized structures, principles and characteristics of several devices that show great potential application in controllable anti-peeping displays in the eyesight of materials consist of pure liquid crystals (LCs), polymer dispersed LCs (PDLCs), polymer stabilized LCs (PSLCs) or polymer network LCs (PNLCs) and non-LCs, which provides systematic information for next-generation viewing angle-controllable LCDs with lower operating voltage, higher transmittance and good viewing angle controllable characteristics. Because LCs/polymer composite films have the advantages of long life, low power consumption and energy saving, they are regarded as the mainstream technology of next-generation viewing angle controllable displays.
