چکیده
Linghui Rao (SID Student Member) Jin Yan (SID Student Member) Shin-Tson Wu (SID Fellow) Abstract — The prospects of emerging polymer-stabilized blue-phase liquid-crystal displays, or more generally, Kerr-effect-induced isotropic-to-anisotropic transition, are analyzed with special emphases on the temperature effects. As the temperature increases, both the Kerr constant, induced birefringence, and response time decrease but at different rates. The proposed physical models fit well with experimental results. Some remaining technical challenges associated with this promising display technology are discussed.

Emerging Liquid Crystal Displays Based on the Kerr Effect
The device physics and electro-optical properties of emerging liquid crystal displays (LCDs) based on the Kerr effect are investigated. With a voltage applied, both blue phase and polymer-stabilized blue phase exhibit a fascinating isotropic-toanisotropic transition. We have developed a numerical model to understand the underlying device physics in order to optimize device performance. The oper...

متن کاملWall-shaped electrodes for reducing the operation voltage of polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal displays
Polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal displays based on the Kerr effect are emerging due to their submillisecond response time, wide view and simple fabrication process. However, the conventional in-plane switching device exhibits a relatively high operating voltage because the electric fields are restricted in the vicinity of the electrode surface. To overcome this technical barrier, we...
متن کاملDirect measurement of electric-field-induced birefringence in a polymer-stabilized blue-phase liquid crystal composite.
We demonstrate a method to directly measure the electric-field-induced birefringence of a polymer-stabilized blue-phase liquid crystal (PS-BPLC) composite. The induced birefringence follows the extended Kerr effect well and is approximately 3X the ordinary refractive index change. The measured data are validated by comparing the simulated and measured voltage-dependent transmittance with an in-...
