Description

Preparation method of bistable dye-doped liquid crystal film
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of a bistable dye-doped liquid crystal film, belonging to the technical field of fine chemical engineering and material science.
Background
Liquid crystal displays have been widely used in practice for a long time because of their excellent optical properties and electro-optical effects. Dye-doped liquid crystals are gradually becoming a research hotspot due to the advantages of low driving voltage, full-spectrum colorful display and the like. For example, the issue group of Taiwan K.L. Cheng adds dichroic dye into liquid crystal microcapsule to obtain a liquid crystal microcapsule with multiple color effect, the particle size of the product is 4-10 μm, and the product shows bright "cross pattern" under a polarizing microscope. The dye-doped liquid crystal microcapsule is prepared by a Miao project group of Jiangnan university by adopting an emulsion polymerization method, and the electrochromic textile with the driving voltage of 3-6V is prepared by a textile coating technology. However, reports on dye-doped liquid crystals so far mainly focus on a few areas and companies, and only monostable display effects can be achieved, which greatly restricts the application and development of dye-doped liquid crystals in the field of color change devices.
The bistable liquid crystal display has the same display characteristics as paper, can continuously display under the condition of power failure, can change display contents by applying voltage, has the characteristics of high contrast, wide viewing angle, ultralow power consumption, easiness in reading and writing and the like, can meet the requirements of large information amount, energy conservation and environmental protection in modern society compared with the traditional monostable liquid crystal display, and has wide application prospect. Such as: the intelligent color-changing glass is applied to intelligent color-changing glass, can play a role in color-changing and dimming under the power-on effect in daily use, can still keep specific color when the power is off, and greatly reduces the use energy consumption.
However, due to the unique physical and chemical properties of dye-doped liquid crystals, it is difficult to achieve bistable state. Currently, bistable liquid crystal technology mainly includes zenithal bistable liquid crystal display technology (ZBD) of nematic liquid crystal, which mainly uses specially designed grooves to achieve two bistability of nematic liquid crystal. Under the influence of surface anchoring effect, the orientation of liquid crystal molecules on the cross section of the groove grid has two stable states of high and low inclination angles, the stable effect is a function of the depth and the distance ratio of the groove grid, and the transition between the two stable effects can be realized through the adjustment of an external electric field. Based on the ZBD display principle, g.p. Brvan-Brown developed a high contrast, reflective zenithal bistable flexible display in combination with PEDOT-PET flexible electrodes/substrates. Flexible ZBD liquid crystal display devices developed by ZBD Displays, inc. However, the ZBD display has problems of narrow viewing angle, difficulty in realizing color display, and the like, and thus, application thereof to real life and work is still under further study. How to prepare a bistable dye-doped liquid crystal product which has excellent physical, chemical and optical properties and meets the requirements of low driving voltage and multicolor color change performance is a problem which needs to be solved urgently in the industry.

The dye-doped liquid crystal film with good light transmittance, high mechanical strength and chemical corrosion resistance is prepared by using the dye-doped liquid crystal, and meanwhile, the film needs to meet the requirements of lower driving voltage and multicolor electrochromic capacity and has the bistable characteristic of zero-electric-field color development. On the other hand, the invention researches a specific preparation method of the bistable dye-doped liquid crystal film, and the bistable dye-doped liquid crystal film is prepared by screening appropriate monomers, liquid crystal, dichroic dye and phase-change material and adopting a phase separation method. The phase-change material plays a crucial role in bistable display, and in the experimental process, not all the phase-change materials can realize dye-doped liquid crystal bistable color development. The bistable fixation material selection conditions mainly include two aspects: the phase-change material and the dye-doped liquid crystal have certain binding force, and the orientation distribution state of the dye-doped liquid crystal can be fixed (solid phase) or not fixed (liquid phase) in the phase-change process of the phase-change material, so that the bistable display effect is achieved; secondly, the interaction force between the phase-change material and the dye-doped liquid crystal is not too strong, otherwise the guest-host effect between the liquid crystal and the dye is affected, and thus the color-changing effect of the dye-doped liquid crystal is lost. Through multiple experiments of the inventor, the paraffin, the n-tetracosane, the n-hexacosane, the n-octacosane and the n-triacontane phase change materials can realize the bistable color development of the dye-doped liquid crystal.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood that various changes and modifications can be made therein by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
