Polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal (PS-BPLC) is emerging as a strong competitor for next-generation liquid crystal displays and optoelectronic devices. However, the realization of technologies built on PS-BPLC requires lowering of driving voltage without sacrificing other desirable properties of blue phase liquid crystals. Here, we present a new method for voltage reduction in PS-BPLC based on the stabilization of BPLC with weak anchoring interface inducing acrylate monomers. This method provides significant voltage reduction while maintaining the electro-optical performance of BPLCs at the same time. We believe that this approach has a great potential in developing high-performance photonic devices and displays based on liquid crystals.[a] Dr.

The stabilization of Blue Phases has recently attracted much interest for the production of fast displays based on the Kerr effect. One method to stabilize Blue Phases, and frustrated liquid crystal phases in general, is by dispersing monomers and subsequent photo-polymerization. In this chapter we discuss the effects of polymer networks on the width of the generally very narrow Blue Phases, as well as Twist Grain Boundary (TGB) phases. Within the framework of polymer modified liquid crystals, the method of dispersing polymers in frustrated phases is also discussed.
