Abstract

AbstractPhase behaviour and bistable effect of dye side chain liquid crystalline polymer (dye LCP)/low molecular weight liquid crystal (LC) mixtures have been investigated. The smectic dye LCP was observed to be miscible with the nematic LC over wide ranges of concentration and temperature. The electro‐optical effects of the dye LCP/LC mixtures could be classified into the turbid and the transparent states upon a respective application of electric fields at low and high frequencies. Both transparent and turbid states of the mixture could be maintained stable, despite an electric field having been turned off.
