Abstract: ABSTRACT We investigated the phase transitions in guest–host liquid crystal devices induced by irradiation with unpolarised UV light. The photoinduced phase transition only occurred when the 4-pentyl-4-cyanobiphenyl host contained more than 4 wt% azobenzene guest… read more here.

Abstract: In this study, we analyzed angular-selective absorption in a guest–host liquid crystal (GHLC) cell for its application in smart windows. For reducing the energy consumption, angular-selective absorption is desired because the light transmitted through windows… read more here.
