Polymer cholesteric liquid crystal (PCLC) flakes suspended in a host fluid can be manipulated with an electric field. Controlling a flake's orientation provides the opportunity to change and control the amount of selective reflection from the flake surface. Flake motion results from charge accumulation and an induced dipole moment established due to Maxwell-Wagner polarization. The type of flake behavior, whether random motion or uniform reorientation, depends upon the dielectric properties of the host fluid, which in turn dictate whether a DC or an AC electric field must be applied. PCLC flakes suspended in highly dielectric silicone oil host fluids tend to move randomly in the presence of a DC electric field, and no motion is seen in AC fields. Flakes suspended in a moderately conductive host fluid reorient 90° in the presence of an AC field within a specific frequency range. The flake shape and size are also important parameters that need to be controlled in order to produce uniform motion. Several methods for patterning flakes were investigated and identical square flakes were produced. Square PCLC flakes (80 mum sides) suspended in propylene carbonate reorient in 400 ms when a 40mVrms/mum field at 70 Hz is applied to the test device. Theoretical modeling supported experimental observations well, particularly in identifying the inverse quadratic dependence on the applied electric field and the electric field frequency dependence that is governed by the host fluid conductivity. Future goals and suggested experiments are provided, as well as an explanation and comparison of possible commercial applications for PCLC flakes. This research has resulted in one patent application and a series of invention disclosures that could place this research group and any industrial collaborators in a strong position to pursue commercial applications, particularly in the area of displays, and more specifically, electronic paper.
