ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an improvement in light modulating devices employing birefringent liquid crystal interspersed in isotropic polymer. A polarizer disposed on a surface of the liquid crystal device produces haze-free viewing for all viewing angles in the plane orthogonal to the polarization direction of the light passed by the polarizer.
