Effect of polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate surfactant on polymer-network liquid crystal display
In order to reduce the high threshold and saturation voltage
obvious hysteresis effect and increase the contrast ratio of Polymer Network Liquid Crystal (PNLC)
the surfactants are used to solve the above problems. The surfactant can reduce the interaction between the liquid crystal and polymer network. As a result
the anchoring energy of the polymer network is reduced
thus the lower threshold and saturation voltage of PNLC can be obtained. In this study
the different mass fractions of surfactant (Polyoxyethylene Sorbitan Monooleate:TWEEN 80) were added into PNLC
and the electro-optical properties of PNLC were investigated. The experimental results show that if the mass fraction of PNLC and surfactant is 10:1
the threshold voltage can be reduced by more than 11 times
and the saturation voltage is reduced by more than 5 times. Moreover
the contrast ratio is obviously improved
and the hysteresis effect is ameliorated as well. This work has an important guiding significance for the study to improve the electro-optical properties of PNLC devices.
