Abstract:
Provided are methods of switching guest-host dual frequency liquid crystals by using a back flow. In the case of a shutter having a dual frequency liquid crystal layer between two transparent substrates, such a method includes: applying a first voltage having a first frequency to the dual frequency liquid crystal layer; and applying a second voltage having a second frequency to the dual frequency liquid crystal, the second frequency being higher than the first frequency, wherein the second voltage is higher than a threshold voltage that generates a back flow around liquid crystals of the dual frequency liquid crystal layer, and the first voltage is lower than the threshold voltage.
