Title

Critical Field For A Hysteresis-Free Bplc Device

Keywords

Blue phase liquid crystal (BPLC); hysteresis; Kerr effect

Abstract

A correlation between the peak electric field and hysteresis of a polymer-stabilized blue-phase liquid crystal (BPLC) is found experimentally. If the peak electric field is below ∼ 5/Vμm, hysteresis is negligible. Based on this guideline, we propose elliptical protrusion electrodes to reduce peak electric field which in turn eliminates hysteresis while keeping a high transmittance. Such a hysteresis-free BPLC device is highly desirable for display and photonic applications. © 2006 IEEE.
