METHOD AND DEVICE FOR INSPECTING POLYMER DISPERSED LIQUID CRYSTAL ELEMENT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique to directly inspect aligned state of liquid crystal molecules in a PDLC(polymer dispersed liquid crystal) element. SOLUTION: A sample 5 obtained by removing one substrate of the PDLC element is fixed with a sample holding mechanism 4. X-rays 2 are made to irradiate the sample 5 and a detector 8 measures scattered X-rays 6. The aligned state of the liquid crystal is found by extracting components scattered by the liquid crystal from the measured scattered X-rays and analyzing them.
