    Abstract

    We present a new pixel circuit on glass using hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) for driving polymer-stabilized blue-phase liquid crystal displays (BPLCDs). Different from conventional nematics, BPLC demands a large dielectric anisotropy in order to lower the operation voltage. As a result, the pixel's capacitance is increased by similar to 10x, which seriously limits the charging capability and optical efficiency. Simulation results show that the average error rate of storage voltage in pixel circuit is below 5.14% for 180 Hz operating frequency.
