Low Voltage Polymer-stabilized Blue Phase with Red-shifted Bragg Reflection
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrated a low voltage polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal (BPLC) by red-shifting the Bragg reflection to the visible region. To retain high contrast ratio, the BPLC is sandwiched between two crossed circular polarizers. The driving voltage is reduced by 35% compared to that of a transparent BPLC, while keeping submillisecond response time. The proposed approach would accelerate the emergence of BPLC for nextgeneration display applications.

A reflective polarizer-free electro-optical switch using dye-doped polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystals.
We demonstrate a reflective polarizer-free electro-optical switch using dye-doped polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystals (DDPSBP-LC). At the voltage-off state, the dye molecules and liquid crystals form the structure of the double twist cylinders. As a result, the DDPSBP-LC is in dark state due to the combination of Bragg reflection and light absorption. At the voltage-on state, the blue...
متن کاملEmerging Polymer-Stabilized Blue Phase Liquid Crystal Display
Polymer-stabilized blue-phase liquid crystals hold great potential for future display applications. Some technical challenges, such as blue-phase temperature range, operation voltage, hysteresis, and voltage holding ratio remain to be overcome before widespread commercialization can be realized. In this paper, we review recent advances in this emerging technology.
متن کاملA low voltage and submillisecond-response polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal
We report a polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal (BPLC) whose Kerr constant is about 2.2 larger than previous record. When filled in a 3.2-lm-thick vertical field switching cell, the on-state voltage is merely 8.4 V (at k1⁄4 514 nm) while keeping submillisecond response time and negligible hysteresis (<1%) at the room temperature. These results imply that the dawn of BPLC era for high s...

This work successfully develops a largely-gradient-pitched polymer-stabilized blue phase (PSBP) photonic bandgap (PBG) device with a wide-band spatial tunability in nearly entire visible region within a wide blue phase (BP) temperature range including room temperature. The device is fabricated based on the reverse diffusion of two injected BP-monomer mixtures with a low and a high chiral concen...
متن کاملElectrically switched color with polymer-stabilized blue-phase liquid crystals.
We report an electrical-field switched color device using a polymer-stabilized blue-phase (PSBP) liquid crystal in which the Bragg-reflected color of the blue phase (BP) can be switched to reflect a second color. The phase-separated three-dimensional polymer network transcribes the cubic structure of a BP liquid crystal and restrains the deformation of cubic lattice by the external electric fie...
