Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, the transparent and flexible conductive substrates used in the production of polymer dispersed liquid crystal films on the market are mainly indium tin oxide (ITO) films based on polyethylene terephthalate (PET), referred to as PET-ITO films. The advantages are good stability, high light transmittance, low square resistance, mature production process, etc., but the disadvantage is that the ITO conductive material needs to be evenly distributed on the PET surface with the help of vacuum magnetron sputtering technology, and the equipment investment and operation costs are high. The scarcity of indium itself has caused the price of PET-ITO film to remain high in the market, which in turn has pushed up the market price of polymer-dispersed liquid crystal film and greatly limited its application fields. In view of this, a new type of film has been developed. There is a need for transparent and flexible conductive substrates that can be used for PDLC films to replace the existing PET-ITO substrates

Abstract

The present invention discloses a polymer dispersed liquid crystal film based on a polymer transparent conductive substrate and a manufacturing method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of liquid crystal dimming. The polymer dispersed liquid crystal film comprises a polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer; a first transparent PET layer and a first PEDOT conductive layer constitute a firstPET-PEDOT conductive substrate; a second transparent PET layer and a second PEDOT conductive layer constitute a second PET-PEDOT conductive substrate; and the polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer islocated between the first and second PET-PEDOT conductive substrates to form a sandwich structure. According to the technical scheme of the present invention, the PET-PEDOT conductive substrate is apolymer transparent conductive film manufactured by configuring the PEDOT dispersion on the surface of a PET substrate through roll coating and then performing heating and drying in a high temperatureoven, and compared with a conventional PET-ITO conductive substrate, the PET-PEDOT conductive substrate has a simple preparation process, a low production cost, and ideal optical and electrical parameters.
