Abstract
The structural and electrooptical properties of planar-oriented films of polymer dispersed cholesteric liquid crystals with tangential orientation of molecules at the interface were investigated. It is shown, that in this medium, a great difference is observed between the threshold parameters and the form of both polarized components of the volt-contrast characteristic. This effect is due to the specific features of structural transformations of the elongated cholesteric droplets in the electric field.
