Optical Switching and Image Storage by Means of Photochromic Liquid Crystals

Abstract

Optical switching and image storage have been examined by means of photochromic polymer liquid crystals (LCs). The photoisomerization of photochromic moieties, which act as a photoresponsive switch, induced the LC-to-isotropic phase transition and the change in alignment of LCs, and they resulted in optical switching and image storage.
