Liquid Crystalline Cholesteric Reflective Layers for Colored Silicon-Based Solar Cells

The performance of a prototype opaque-type colored silicon-based solar cell integrated with liquid crystalline cholesteric layers is investigated. These devices were developed using only organic components and wet processes, without complicated vacuum processes. The evaluated performances of the pro...
