Electro-optical Effect of Gold Nanoparticle Dispersed in Nematic Liquid Crystals

The electro-optical performance of nematic liquid crystals (NLCs) dispersed with gold nanoparticles (GNPs) was investigated in this study. The addition of a small amount of GNP dopant decreased the threshold voltage for LC reorientation due to the decreased elastic constant and increased dielectric...
