Dielectric dispersion on the Kerr constant of blue phase liquid crystals
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dielectric dispersions on the Kerr constant of two polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystals (BPLCs) are investigated. An extended Cole-Cole model is proposed to fit the experimental results and good agreement is obtained. As the electric field frequency increases, Kerr constant decreases and the associated dielectric heating effect gradually increases. These results will undoubtedly affect the high frequency operation of BPLC devices. VC 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3657768]

Diluter Effects on Large Dielectric Anisotropy Blue Phase Liquid Crystals
We have investigated diluter effects on the Debye relaxation frequency, and electro-optics of polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystals (BPLC). The relaxation frequency can be increased by adding a small amount of diluters, which benefits high frequency operation of BPLC. Some diluters significantly decrease the BPLC response time while maintaining similar Kerr constant. Author

Polymer-stabilized optically isotropic liquid crystals, including blue phases, are emerging as a strong contender for next-generation display technology because they exhibit some revolutionary features such as no need for surface alignment, submillisecond response time, isotropic dark state, and cell gap insensitivity. The basic material properties, including electric field-induced birefringenc...

متن کاملInfluence of optical Kerr coefficient on photonic band structures of hexagonal-lattice function photonic crystals
In this paper, we have studied the photonic band structure of function photonic crystals in which the dielectric constant of the scattering centers (rods) is a function of space coordinates. The under-studied lattice is hexagonal and cross section of rods has a circular symmetry embedded in the air background. Photonic band structures for both electric and magnetic polarizations of the electrom...
متن کاملA Polarization Independent Microlens using Two Blue-Phase Liquid Crystal Layers with Different Kerr Constant
We propose a new microlens device structure using two polymerstabilized blue phase liquid crystal layers whose Kerr constant is largely different. Such a polarization independent microlens has a simple structure and desired parabolic phase profile. Its applications for 2D/3D switchable displays and other photonic devices are emphasized.
