We established a control technique of the polymer aggregation structure in PDLCs by the pattern UV exposure using a photomask to control the diffused light distribution of PDLCs. As a result, we clarified that successfully achieved a precise control of the fine polymer aggregation structure by used the polymerization inhibitor.
