This week, we tested the polymer-dispersed liquid crystal display that we made the previous week. A variable AC power supply was used to supply power at approximately 100 volts to the PDLCD, and while it did not work as well as desired, it was shown that the constructed display was capable of switching from opaque to transparent when enough current was run through it.
We also worked on troubleshooting the wiring for the PDLCD. It was discovered that the 3:8 decoders' negative enables needed to be wired to ground as opposed to left unwired. There was also a problem in which some of the LEDs were lit when there was no power.
