Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of liquid crystal materials, and concretely relates to a method for preparing a liquid crystal dimming film with a low driving voltage by thermal-ultraviolet stepwise polymerization. The method concretely comprises the following steps: uniformly mixing a liquid crystal material, an epoxy monomer, an epoxy curing agent, a promoter, a liquid crystalline ultraviolet-polymerizable monomer, an initiator and spacer particles to obtain an isotropic liquid material; placing the isotropic liquid material in the middle of a conductive film coated with indium tin oxide in order to form a film; thermally polymerizing the film to form a porous polymer matrix in order to obtain a conductive film; and applying an electric field to the conductive film to make liquid crystal molecules in a vertical orientation state, and performing ultraviolet polymerization on the conductive film to construct a vertically oriented polymer network inside meshes in order to obtain the target electrically controlled liquid crystal trimming film. The liquid crystal trimming film obtained in the present invention has an excellent electrooptic characteristic and a good flexibility.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of liquid crystal materials, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a liquid crystal dimming film with low driving voltage through thermal-ultraviolet stepwise polymerization. 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 di...
