Low voltage driven polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal device with combined in-plane and fringe field

Abstract

We present a low voltage driven polymerstabilized blue phase liquid crystal (PS-BPLC) device by in-plane and fringe field inner cell. The combined electric field between the slit electrodes can penetrate deeply and induce higher birefringence in LC layer. Thus, high transmittance in our PS-BPLC device was obtained under lower driving voltage.
