Memory effects in polymer-encapsulated cholesteric liquid crystals
Zyryanov V. Ya., Smorgon S. L., Zhulkov V. A., Shabanov V. F.
Optical memory effects have been studied in films of polymer-encapsulated cholesteric liquid crystals. Information is recorded in forward and reverse regimes by a thermal-contact or thermooptic method. The information can be erased by changing the strength of an electric field.
