The invention relates to an electrooptical system
which between 2 electrode layers contains a PDLC film comprising a liquid crystal mixture forming microdroplets in an optically isotropic, transparent polymer matrix,
in which one of the refractive indices of the liquid crystal mixture is matched to the refractive index of the polymer matrix, and
which in one of the two switching states has reduced transmission compared with the other state independent of the polarization of the incident light,
characterized in that the precursor of the PDLC film comprises
a) 30-85 wt.% of a liquid crystal mixture containing one or more compounds of the formula I
in which
Z¹ and Z²independently of one another, are a single bond, -CH₂CH₂-, -COO-, -OCO-or -C≡C-,
independently of one another, are trans-1,4-cyclohexylene, 1,4-phenylene, 2-fluoro-1,4-phenylene, 3-fluoro-1,4-phenylene, 2,3-difluoro-1,4-phenylene or 3,5-difluoro-1,4-phenylene and one of
is also pyrimidine-2,5-diyl, pyridine2,5-diyl or trans-1,3-dioxane-2,5-diyl,
X¹ and X²independently of one another, are H or F,
Qis CF₂, OCF₂, C₂F₄, OC₂F₄ or a single bond,
Yis H, F, Cl or CN,
nis 0, 1 or 2 and
Ris alkyl having up to 13 C atoms, in which one or two non-adjacent CH₂ groups can also be replaced by -O- and/or -CH=CH-,
b) 15-68 wt.% of the precursor of the polymer matrix at least comprising
a component A containing at least 5 % of one or more at least difunctional thiol monomers and/or oligomers,
a component B containing at least 10 wt.% of one or more at least difunctional monomers and/or oligomers of the ene type,
a component C containing at least 3 wt.% of one or monofunctional monomers and/or oligomers of the ene type with a molar mass of less than 250 g/mol,
optionally a component D containing polymerizable compounds other than ene-type or thiol-type compounds, and
c) 0.1-5 wt.% of a radical photoinitiator
with the mass ratios given under a), b) and c) being related to the mass of the precursor of the PDLC film and the mass ratios of the components A, B and C relating to the mass of the precursor of the polymer matrix.
