Abstract
A device having variable scattering by liquid crystals includes a stack with a first electrode, an electroactive layer with liquid crystals being stabilized by the polymeric network, and a second electrode. The material exhibits, from a temperature referred to as T1, a mesophase referred to as P. At a temperature T′ greater than or equal to T1, the stack is capable of exhibiting at least three stable and reversible scattering states in the visible range and a variable color.
