37.2: High Performance Blue Phase Liquid Crystals Stabilized by Linear Photopolymers

Abstract

We experimentally demonstrated an in-plane switching (

Active matrix field sequential color electrically suppressed helix ferroelectric liquid crystal for high resolution displays

“…Furthermore, the hysteresis in the electro‐optical response is another drawback for the polymer stabilized BPLCs. Several works have been done to suppress the hysteresis like anisotropic polymer network; however, it is still not ready and more efforts are required towards polymerization process and device . Besides BPLCs, cholesteric liquid crystal with uniform lying helix and uniform standing helix configuration also show fast response time that could be suitable for the FSCLCD application.…”

Kerr effect and Kerr constant enhancement in vertically aligned deformed helix ferroelectric liquid crystals

“…Although the new class of PSBPLC recently reported in Ref. [10] discloses a higher value of the Kerr constant, several issues still exist. Firstly, the fabrication process is quite complicated as ultraviolet curing at a precise temperature within the LC blue phase or isotropic phase is needed.…”

“…Firstly, the fabrication process is quite complicated as ultraviolet curing at a precise temperature within the LC blue phase or isotropic phase is needed. Secondly, the mixture con-sists of several different kinds of components, [8][9][10] making the material preparation difficult. Thirdly, the electrical-optical hysteresis and high driving voltage are not suitable for real devices.…”
