Title:
POLYMER DISPERSED LIQUID CRYSTAL FILM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/070648
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides a polymer dispersed liquid crystal film which is capable of making a switch between a transparent state and a scattering state only in a specific region, and which has improved light resistance. A polymer dispersed liquid crystal film according to one embodiment of the present invention sequentially comprises a first conductive base material, a polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer that comprises a polymer matrix and liquid crystal droplets and a photopolymerization initiator dispersed in the polymer matrix, and a second conductive base material in this order; the polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer has a first region and a second region, which have different amounts of haze change due to application of a voltage, in a plan view; the amount of haze change due to application of a voltage in the first region is smaller than the amount of haze change due to application of a voltage in the second region; the liquid crystal droplets in the second region contains a polymerizable liquid crystal compound and a non-polymerizable liquid crystal compound; the liquid crystal droplets in the first region contains a liquid crystal polymer, which is a polymer of the polymerizable liquid crystal compound, and the non-polymerizable liquid crystal compound; and the first conductive base material comprises an ultraviolet blocking layer.
