32. Other approaches have been developed to produce surface-localized polymer structure in liquid crystal hosts in order to enhance the performance of electrooptic displays and reflectors. However, these methods did not utilize the wavelength of the UV selectively, (a) Vorflusev, V.; Kumar, S. Science 1999, 283, 1903.
