The effective manipulation and regulation of infrared (IR) radiation represent significant advancements in the realm of liquid crystal applications. In this investigation, the synergistic integration of nanofiber membranes and phase change microencapsulated film with polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) layers was employed for IR modulation. To obtain the excellent electro‐optical properties of PDLC composite films, the ratio of the PDLC system, the thickness of the nanofiber membrane, and the concentration of phase‐change microcapsules were meticulously regulated, and the polymer network morphology of the PDLC films was analyzed to achieve a high contrast ratio (162.72) of PDLC composite films. The fabricated PDLC composite devices show excellent IR shielding efficiency of 15% in the presence of doped nanofiber membranes and phase change microencapsulated films. Notably, patterned nanofiber layers and phase‐change microcapsule coating were obtained by template electrospinning, resulting in patternable PDLC composite film devices.

The polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) holds potential application in smart windows, owing to its feasibility in regulating the transmittance of specific wavelength bands to improve energy utilization. Herein, a composite PDLC smart window is designed, which showcases high emissivity of 93.79% in the mid‐infrared region and features the regulation of ultraviolet (UV), visible, and near‐infrared (NIR) light. Titanate nanomaterials with diverse morphologies are synthesized and doped to endow the PDLC film with perfect UV shielding property and excellent electro‐optical (E‐O) performance. Subsequently, the E‐O performance is further improved by modifying the structure of acrylate monomers, with the maximum transmittance exceeding 80%. Furthermore, the LaB6 layer is incorporated to effectively shield NIR light. Due to the synergistic effect of sunlight modulation and passive radiative cooling, the composite PDLC smart window can effectively lower the indoor temperature compared with traditional PDLC films. Eventually, the fabricated LaB6/PVA/PDLC smart window displays high contrast (210.65), a low threshold voltage (6.68 V), and remarkable passive radiative cooling performance (cooling power of 131.24 m2 K−1). Overall, the composite presents switchable transmittance in visible region, excellent UV‐blocking (>99%), and high NIR shielding capacities, thereby broadening its potential application in the field of smart windows.
