摘要

蓝相液晶作为一种新兴的软3D光子材料受到了越来越多的关注与研究，其可以自组装为具有周期性立方晶格的3D光子纳米结构，并且具有优异的光学特性，如无双折射、响应速度快和选择性反射等。刺激响应的3D纳米结构以及在可见光谱中动态控制其光子带隙是蓝相研究中最令人感兴趣的领域之一，特别是其中的光响应蓝相液晶的研究受到了广泛的关注，相较于其他刺激响应型液晶，其具有远程可控性、精确性和瞬时性等优异的特性。本文主要综述了蓝相液晶的发现及其结构特点，并详细介绍了近年来光响应蓝相液晶在国内外的研究进展和应用现状。

Abstract

As an emerging soft 3D photonic material

blue phase liquid crystals have attracted growing attention and research. They can self-assemble into a 3D photonic nanostructure with periodic cubic lattices and has excellent optical properties. Such as no birefringence

fast response speed and selective reflection. Stimulus-responsive 3D nanostructures and dynamic control of their photonic band gap in the visible spectrum are one of the most interesting fields in blue phase research

especially the research on photo-responsive blue phase liquid crystals have received extensive attention. Compared with other stimulus-responsive liquid crystals

it has excellent characteristics such as remote controllability

accuracy and transientness. This paper mainly reviews the discovery and structural characteristics of blue phase liquid crystals

and introduces in detail the research advances and application status of photo-responsive blue phase liquid crystals at home and abroad in recent years.
