Abstract
A polarity sensitive bistable color effect has been observed in cholesteric
liquid crystal-polymer mixtures where a gradient of the polymer network de
nsity is created by strongly absorbed UV light. The switching between two s
table states is driven by electric pulses of the same amplitude and duratio
n but with opposite electric polarity. The effect could be of great interes
t for practical applications in color display technology. (C) 1999 American
