Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of liquid crystal materials, and concretely relates to an electronically controlled liquid crystal dimming film with a low driving voltage. The electronically controlled liquid crystal dimming film comprises, by mass, 25.0-60.0% of a liquid crystal material, 1.0-10.0% of a liquid-crystal ultraviolet-polymerizable monomer, an initiator accounting for 0.1-5.0% of the total mass of the liquid crystal ultraviolet-polymerizable monomer and the liquid crystal material, 20.0-30.0% of an epoxy monomer, 20.0-30.0% of an epoxy curing agent, a heat curing accelerator accounting for 1.0-10.0% of the total mass of the epoxy monomer and the epoxy curing agent, and 0.1-5.0% of spacer particles. The liquid crystal dimming film obtained in the present invention has excellent electrooptic characteristics and a good flexibility.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of liquid crystal materials, and in particular relates to an electrically controlled liquid crystal dimming film with low driving voltage. Background technique [0002] The anisotropic structure and characteristics of liquid crystals make it of far-reaching research significance in basic theoretical research and application device development. Among them, the research and development of functional liquid crystal materials is a hot topic. Among the new functional liquid crystal materials, polymer dispersed liquid crystal (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal, referred to as PDLC) and polymer stabilized liquid crystal (Polymer Stabilized Liquid Crystal, referred to as PSLC) both show good application characteristics. [0003] In the PDLC film, the liquid crystal is uniformly dispersed in the polymer matrix in the form of droplets. In the absence of an electric field, the directors of the liquid crystal molecules are distri...
