Abstract

A new method is proposed for increasing contrast and modulation depth of liquid-crystal electrooptical materials on the basis of the production of a polymer dispersed liquid crystal monolayer in which the interference effect of quenching for coherently scattered light is realized. A dramatic increase in the contrast ratio at viewing angles up to 5 degree(s) is predicted theoretically. The results of calculations for surface ferroelectric liquid crystal droplets films in the anomalous diffraction approach are presented.
