    Abstract: The light-controlling device includes a first substrate, a second substrate and a partition wall separating the first and second substrates to define a cell. A light-adjustment medium containing a plurality of charged particles is disposed between the first and second substrates. One of the first electrode on the first substrate and the second electrode on the second substrate covers lesser area of the light-controlling device than the other electrode. The electrode covering lesser area of the light-controlling device may have grooved surface to increase the surface area without increasing the overall area of the light-controlling device covered by the electrode. Particle guidance member can be used to create a reservoir for holding increased amount of charged particles on the electrode covering lesser area of the light-controlling device.

    Abstract: A light-controlling device is provided. The light-controlling device includes a first substrate, a second substrate disposed opposite the first substrate, and a partition wall separating the first and second substrates to define a cell. An optical medium containing charged particles is disposed within the cell between the first and second substrates. A plurality of first electrodes is disposed on the first substrate, and a plurality of second electrodes is disposed on the second substrate to generate electrical field within the cell to move at least some of the charged particles. Each of the first electrodes has a first width and a first thickness, and each of the second electrodes has a second width and a second thickness. Each of the second electrodes is disposed at an interval of a third width such that the open region on the second substrate between the second electrodes corresponds to the first electrode on the first substrate.

    Abstract: A light controlling apparatus includes a first electrode on a first substrate; a first alignment film on the first electrode; a second electrode on a second substrate facing the first substrate; a second alignment film on the second electrode; and a guest-host liquid crystal layer having cholesteric liquid crystals and dichroic dyes between the first and second alignment films. The first and second electrodes provide a vertical electric field, and at least one of the first and second electrodes provides a horizontal electric field. The cholesteric liquid crystals have a homeotropic state when an electric field in a first direction is applied to the guest-host liquid crystal layer to realize a transparent mode. The cholesteric liquid crystals have a focal conic state when an electric field in a second direction is applied to realize a light shielding mode. A same state is maintained when no electric field is applied.
