Light passage through the polymer film of liquid crystal droplets with modified boundary conditions

Abstract

A method to analyze coherent transmission coefficients and the small-angle light scattering structure of PDLC layer with homogeneous and inhomogeneous boundary conditions on the droplets surface is discussed. For PDLC films with inhomogeneous boundary conditions at the polymer – liquid crystal interface, asymmetry of the angular structure of light scattering with respect to the polar angle is revealed. Besides, experimental results on transmittance are presented.
