We have developed a reverse-mode light dimming device using a liquid crystal (LC) phase grating instead of a polymer network to achieve a flexible smart window with strong resistance to external forces. By optimizing the pitch and height of the LC phase grating, we realized a light dimming device with high transparency in a voltage-off state and confirmed its effectiveness for flexible smart window applications.
