Abstract

Polymer-dispersed nematic liquid crystals are known to exhibit a quadratic electro-optic response. For practical applications, a linear dependence on the applied electric field is often required. In this letter, polymer-dispersed nematic liquid crystal films with a built-in dc electric field are shown to be good electro-optical devices with a linear response. The built-in electric field is obtained by energizing films with an external dc field. The electro-optical response dependence on the strength and frequency of the driving field is discussed.
