Problems solved by technology

[0004] It is known that the liquid crystal film used in electrically adjustable glass is a polymer dispersed liquid crystal film (Polymer dispersed liquid crystal film; PDLC film), which will leak light when it is twisted or pressed, so it is not suitable for use on curved surfaces (such as car window glass), the reason may be that liquid crystal particles of different sizes are produced when the monomer is polymerized to discharge the liquid crystal
In addition, known dimming liquid crystal films cannot be laminated / processed repeatedly, and cannot be produced by a roll-to-roll continuous production process (Roll-to-Roll process)

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a liquid crystal film, and in particular to an electrically adjustable liquid crystal film which can be repeatedly processed. Background technique [0002] Electrically switchable glass (electrically switchable glass), also known as smart glass, is one of the special glasses for architectural decoration. There is a liquid crystal film in the middle. Using the characteristics of liquid crystal, the light transmission can be adjusted by changing the current through electric control. The rate can realize the conversion of glass from transparent to opaque. Electronically controlled dimming glass has been widely used in high-end offices, businesses, hospitals, residences, computer rooms, automobiles, aerospace and other fields, and can also be used as a projector screen. [0003] The dimming principle of electric dimmable glass is: in the natural state (power off without electric field), the arrangement of its internal liquid cryst...
