For the realization of thick liquid crystal (LC) layer for reflect arrays, we have proposed a multi-layered structure containing LC-polymer films to stabilize the alignment of the thick nematic LC layer and enable a fast response time. We fabricated and evaluated LC-polymer films for the proposed structure.
