Aerosol jet printing polymer dispersed liquid crystals on highly curved optical surfaces and edges

Abstract We demonstrate a new technique for producing Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) devices utilising aerosol jet printing (AJP). PDLCs require two substrates to act as scaffold for the Indium Tin Oxide electrodes, which restricts the device geometries. Our approach precludes the requireme...
