Effect of applied voltage on the fluorescence behavior of E7/NOA-65 PDLC films

The present result indicates that the steady-state fluorescence behavior of E7/NOA-65 polymer disperse liquid crystal films prepared by a photoinitiated-polymerization induced phase separation method plays a significant role in understanding electro-photophysical response and hysteresis on varying applied electric fields. The fluorescence technique is sensitive to molecular alignment of LC molecules in the polymer matrix and it also provides useful quantitative information on the rise time, the threshold voltage and the driving voltage of a PDLC system.
