A short review on effect of quantum dots on the electro-optical and morphological behaviour of polymer dispersed liquid crystal.

The effect of different quantum dots (QDs) such as CdS, ZnO, ZnS, InP/ZnS, and Pervoskite QDs etc. on the electro-optical and morphological behavior of polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) has been analyzed in this short review. The fabrication techniques of PDLCs of these composite systems and liquid crystal (LC) droplets behavior in polymer matrix along with transmission, contrast ratio, threshold and operating voltages etc. as well as mutuality of these parameters on overall performance of the PDLC film have also been examined. Further, the future prospective of QDs-PDLC for various applications has also been described. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
