Electro-Optic Property Research of Blue Phase Liquid Crystals
Blue phase liquid crystals (BPLCs) show fast response time and macroscopic optical isotropy due to their double twist cylinder structure. With polymer stabilization
the thermal stability of BPLCs can be improved dramatically. However
it induces some problems to the electro-optic properties of BPLCs material such as high driving voltage
hysteresis and so on. In this paper
different concentrations of chiral dopant
polymer network of the BPLC
and temperature effect are investigated to improve the electro-optic properties of BPLCs and analyze the mechanism that affect the electro-optic properties of the BPLCs device.
