Photoluminescence has been enhanced for a dye dispersed system which is the key finding of this investigation. UV absorbance study has also been performed and found to be increased for composite system. Enhanced birefringence after dispersion of dye into pure NLC is also a prominent result of this investigation. Relative permittivity, threshold voltage and dielectric anisotropy have also been measured and found to be increased. The outcome of the present work may be very useful in the construction of liquid crystal displays (LCDs).}, type={Article}, title={Dispersion of fluorescent dye in the nematic liquid crystal: Enhanced photoluminescence and high birefringence}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/115332/PDF/main.pdf}, keywords={Nematic liquid crystal, Fluorescent dye, Photoluminescence, Birefringence, Dielectric anisotropy}, }
