Photovoltaic spatial light modulators (PSLM) for smart window applications

The aim of this work is to explore the morphological features of novel light modulators termed “photovoltaic spatial light modulators” (PSLM) for smart window applications. Such modulators co-invented by consortium of our PSLM project funded by ANR (Agence Nationale de la Recherche Scientifique, France) are based on polymer semiconductors and liquid crystalline hybrid materials that form an organic multilayer as the photosensitive element. Specifically, due to their exquisite physical properties these materials offer control over the incoming solar radiation
