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...
