Electrical Behavior of Liquid Crystal Devices with Dielectric Nanoparticles

Figure 1

Scheme of the liquid crystal cell with a layer of nanoparticles on one of the substrates. The top substrate includes the ITO and polyimide layer for homogeneous alignment, without nanoparticles. The two different configurations are shown: nonswitched (a) and switched (b) states.
