Polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal of large Kerr constant based on multiple dopants
Polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal (PSBPLC) shows great potential application in displays and photonic devices due to its properties of submillisecond response time
optical isotropic status
and alignment free.A multi-dopant material system for polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal is proposed.The driving capacity of PS-BPLC can be improved by doping N-vinylpyrrollidone (NVP) and polyaniline functionalized graphene (G-PANI).With the dopant optimization
the Kerr constant of PS-BPLC is increased by 68%
and the response time
hysteresis and residual birefringence have no degradation.
