Abstract

A light shutter, which consists of a dye-doped cholesteric liquid crystal (ChLC) layer and a polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) film, for simultaneous control of haze and transmittance is demonstrated. In the opaque state, it can not only provide a black color by using the dye-doped ChLCs but also hide the objects behind the display panel by using the PDLC film. The proposed light shutter shows a high haze value of 90.7% with a low specular transmittance of 1.20%. By switching the proposed light shutter placed at the back of a see-through display, we can choose between the see-through mode and the high-visibility mode in a see-through display.
