Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate; a first electrode on the first substrate; a second substrate facing the first substrate; a second electrode on the second substrate facing the first electrode; and a liquid crystal structure between the first electrode and the second electrode, the liquid crystal structure comprising a polymer network and liquid crystal molecules, wherein the liquid crystal display device operates in a transmissive mode when an electric field is not generated between the first and the second electrodes, and the liquid crystal display device operates in a scattering mode when an electric field is generated between the first and the second electrodes, wherein the liquid crystal display device is transparent or substantially transparent when the liquid crystal display device operates in the transmissive mode, and wherein a refractive index of each liquid crystal molecule in a minor axis is the same as a refractive index of the polymer network when the liquid crystal display device operates in the transmissive mode.
