Abstract

Holographically formed polymer dispersed liquid crystal (H-PDLC) displays are investigated in terms of their electro-optic performance parameters and their potential as capable full color display systems. It is demonstrated that the transmission-voltage curve can be modified by low concentrations of chiral dopants, increasing the steepness of the response curve. To probe the details of full-color reflective H-PDLC displays, we invoke a generalized colorimetric/photometric analysis to estimate the display reflectance, white-point, and chromaticity diagram for a vertically integrated stack of red, green, and blue H-PDLC displays.
