Key Points

Electro-optic performance varies significantly between polymer-modified and gel-glass dispersed liquid crystals.
Diffuse reflectivity measurements reveal key differences in the efficiency of various smart window approaches.
The study evaluates polymer-stabilised, polymer-dispersed, and gel-glass dispersed liquid crystals for performance comparison.
Findings suggest that selecting the right liquid crystal method may enhance smart window functionality.

Implication

This analysis compares smart window technologies using liquid crystals, highlighting their electro-optic performance and diffuse reflectivity.

Abstract

Various approaches to smart windows, including polymer-stabilised, polymer-dispersed, and gel-glass dispersed liquid crystals (GDLC), are discussed with respect to their electro-optic performance based on diffuse reflectivity. The diffuse backward scattering...
