Abstract
In this article, we proposed a new technique for the improvement
of contrast ratio (CR) of the (BaTiO 3 ) nanoparticle doped
polymer dispersed liquid crystals (Np PDLC) display. For the purpose, an extra polymer layer has been employed at the
lowermost part of the nanoparticle doped PDLC film. By adopting such technique, we found significantly improved electro
optical contrast of Np PDLC film. The contrast ratio of the Np doped PDLC device fabricated with extra polymer layer
(PDLC C) offered 7.24, which was found as the best among all the fabricated devices. The results o f the study have been
verified by experimental techniques. Such technique has been found easy to employ and could be used for attaining better
Np PDLC display. All the results have been discussed in detail. The current Np doped PDLC methodology could be us eful
for various display applications..
