So far there are only reports on obtaining either the transparent state or the scattering state of PDLC in an electronic way. In this paper the authors report on a method that allows them to obtain both scattering and transparent PDLC in an electronic way. As a consequence Tdecay does not only depend on the material parameters of the PDLC but also on the applied electric voltage, just like Trise. This is important because an increase in the applied voltage causes a reduction in the switching times Tdecay and Trise. The switching time Tdecay could be reduced by a factor 4 for an applied voltage of about 2 times V90. The contrast ratio of the field oriented addressing method is about 2/3 of the contrast ratio with the classic addressing method. The further reduction of Tdecay to 13 ms and a typical Trise of 6 ms is promising for color sequential PDLC. The required voltage of 12 Vrms is considerably smaller than the 100 Vrms of other colo sequential PDLC displays. There is still improvement possible by optimizing the curing parameters and use of other PDLC mixtures like PNLC.
