ABSTRACT
The ferroelectric liquid crystal ZLI-4655-100 and the Epoxy-Based thermo-cured resin have been used to fabricate PDFLC film. The effect of hardener addition ratio and the surface morphology of PDFLC film are investigated. The result shows that the PDFLC film made by mixing FLC with almost cure hardener and epoxy-based thermo-cured resins possesses more rapid switching time, higher contrast ratio, and smaller droplets.
