Among various dye-doped liquid crystal (LC) devices, a chiral-nematic LC cell provides the highest transmittance difference between its transparent and opaque states. We propose a systematic approach to find the optimal dye mixing for black color in the opaque state and optimization method in the parameter space for the maximum transmittance difference.
