Abstract

Optically isotropic liquid crystal (OILC) composite film in which nano‐sized LC droplets are embedded in a polymer matrix is highly useful for bendable displays and wearable photonics but a high operating voltage due to field shielding effect of the insulting matrix and low Kerr constant needs to be overcome. To address this challenge, a small amount of conductive materials PEDOT: PSS is doped into the OILCs. The LC cells with 2 and 3.5 wt% PEDOT: PSS doped OILCs exhibit improved driving voltages by 6.5% and 11.7% and on‐state transmittance by 10.3% and 30.1%, respectively, compared to conventional one. In addition, faster switching response times are achieved while the dark level remains to be unaltered.
