Abstract

Utilizing the temperature-dependent characteristic of the electrohydrodynamic effect in a liquid crystal, we demonstrate an electrically active and thermally passive device based on a chiral nematic sandwiched between two conducting glass substrates. It is promising for smart-window applications. The voltage-governed temperature-transmittance behavior favors its adaption for habitants living in various climate zones.
