Dynamic modulation of voltage-driven optical states and dielectric responses of thermally tunable cholesteric liquid crystal for smart windows

Key Points

• Enhanced dielectric responses observed with thermal tuning of cholesteric liquid crystals, improving optical performance.
• Optical states can dynamically change, driven by voltage modulation in a thermally responsive system.
• Involves a systematic assessment of cholesteric liquid crystal behavior under varying thermal and electrical conditions.
• Findings support the development of advanced smart window technologies that could optimize energy efficiency.
