Polymer Stabilized Liquid Crystal Smart Window with Flexible Substrates Based on Low-Temperature Treatment of Polyamide Acid Technology

Review on polymer-stabilized short-pitch cholesteric liquid crystal displays

Submillisecond response times and low operation voltage are critical to next generation liquid crystal display and photonic devices. In this paper, we review the recent progress of three fastresponse short-pitch cholesteric liquid crystal modes: blue phase (BP), uniform standing helix (USH), and uniform lying helix (ULH). This review starts with a brief introduction of device structures and wor...

Organic Thin-Film Transistor-Driven Polymer-Dispersed Liquid Crystal Displays on Flexible Polymeric Substrates

Fast-Switching Stratified Polymer-Stabilized Liquid Crystal for Flexible Display Applications

A new liquid-crystal device for flexible display applications was developed using twofold polymerization process. The cell was fabricated from a homogeneous mixture of a liquid crystal and a polymerforming material. Caused by the spatially nonuniform rate of polymerization and wetting properties, largescale anisotropic phase separation of the liquid-crystal blend and the polymer precursor leads...

Electro-optics of polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal displays

Electro-optics of polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal displays BP LCDs is analyzed and validated experimentally. A numerical model for characterizing and optimizing the electro-optical and display properties of BP LCDs in in-plane switching and fringe field switching cells is developed. The simulated voltage-dependent transmittance curves agree well with the measured results. To lower ...

Prospects of emerging polymer-stabilized blue-phase liquid-crystal displays

Linghui Rao (SID Student Member) Jin Yan (SID Student Member) Shin-Tson Wu (SID Fellow) Abstract — The prospects of emerging polymer-stabilized blue-phase liquid-crystal displays, or more generally, Kerr-effect-induced isotropic-to-anisotropic transition, are analyzed with special emphases on the temperature effects. As the temperature increases, both the Kerr constant, induced birefringence, a...
