Photoaligned Liquid Crystal Devices with Switchable Hexagonal Diffraction Patterns

Photoaligned Liquid Crystal Devices with Switchable Hexagonal Diffraction Patterns

Highly efficient optical diffraction can be realized with the help of micrometer-thin liquid crystal (LC) layers with a periodic modulation of the director orientation. Electrical tunability is easily accessible due to the strong stimuli-responsiveness in the LC phase. By using well-designed photoal...
