ABSTRACT: Ferro nematic suspensions are the prominent
materials to enhance the electro optical performance of liquid crystal
displays. Electro optical properties of polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC)
display with the introduction of
Barium Titanate nanoparticles have been investigated in this article and it is
shown that there is a considerable enhancement in electro-optical response of
the displays. The nanoparticles lower the switch-on electric field and thereby
increase the optical transmission at certain voltages of the displays. The
electro-optical characteristics of the PDLC cells were investigated with a
He-Ne laser followed by MatLab calculations.
