Popis: Holographic Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystals (HPDLC) devices are potentially useful for color reflective type LCDs. In our experiments, HPDLC devices were made from a mixture of LC and light-curable resin containing an oligomer and were formed by laser interference exposure. In order to obtain highly diffracted intensity, we first investigated the dependence of diffraction efficiency in HPDLC devices on laser intensity and the relationship between the phase separation temperature of the mixture and diffraction efficiency. The phase separation temperature of the mixture can be tuned to the oligomer ratio of the light-curable resin. We found that the diffracted intensity increased as laser intensity increased, and also as the phase separation temperature of the mixture increased.
