I am trying to design a pinhole camera with a timed shutter and thought that
liquid crystals would be an ideal solution: they are low power, reliable,
non-mechanical, compact etc.

The problem is how do I get my hands on them?  All I need is a circle a
centimeter or two in diameter.  Can I make them myself?

Is there some other way for me to electrically turn a window from opaque to
transparent and back again reliably that meets my criteria?
