Polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs) are materials composed of liquid crystal microdroplets dispersed in a polymer matrix. Their electro-optic properties make them useful for applications as large-area electrically switchable architectural windows (smart windows). For these applications, the key parameters of performance are the haze (both normal and offaxis) and the opacity. In the present work we show how it is possible to prepare a high performance smart window by controlling the haze and opacity of PDLC films using the polymer induced phase separation (PIPS) method.
