[LCT3-2] Optimization of color and transmittance in a dye-doped chiral-nematic liquid crystal cell
liquid crystal, dichroic dye, dye-doped liquid crystal, transmittance-control device
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.
