Preparation and Performance Study of Low Drive Voltage, Wide-Temperature Stable PDLC Films

Traditional polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) faces limitations in smart dimming applications due to high driving voltage and poor high-temperature stability. In this study, a high-birefringence liquid crystal (QYPDLC-901) was used to prepare PDLC films with liquid crystal contents ranging from 72 wt% to 80 wt%, achieved through synergistic regulation of a low-functional acrylic polymer system and a low-intensity curing process. The effects of liquid crystal content, cell gap, and temperat
