Implication

Randomized trial demonstrates improved optical performance in writing tablets with bendable liquid crystal films, suggesting advancements in eco-friendly technology.

Key Points

This research aims to enhance the stability and performance of liquid crystal films for writing tablets.
Designed and fabricated bendable bistable liquid crystal films supported by a skeleton polymer network.
Incorporated liquid crystalline polymerisable monomers and UV-polymerisable monomers into the films.
Analyzed the effects of different monomers on the microstructure and handwriting performance.
The sample with 5% UV-polymerisable monomer, 6% M13, and 0.5% C6M showed the best overall performance.
The skeleton polymer network effectively stabilized the bistable states of cholesteric liquid crystals.
Significant improvement in the film’s resistance to mechanical deformation under bending stress.
