In this paper, rare earth oxide CeO 2  nanoparticle-doped polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) films were prepared by the polymerisation induced phase separation (PIPS) process. The effects of the crosslinking agent TMPTA content, liquid crystal (LC) content and the CeO 2  content on the polymer structures and electro-optical properties of the as-made PDLC films were investigated systematically. It has been found that by changing the TMPTA content, LC content and doping a small amount of CeO 2  nanoparticles, the electro-optical properties of PDLC films can be optimised. After adding a low concentration of CeO 2  nanoparticles, the electro-optical properties of the PDLC film have been well optimised: after adding 0.8% CeO 2 , V th  decreased from 26.6 V to 16.8 V, and CR increased from 89.5 to 137.6. Consequently, this work offers a meaningful approach to optimise the electro-optical properties of PDLC films, which indeed can form a wonderful footstone for the wide application of PDLC.
