Keywords

Abstract

Polymer-stabilised blue phase liquid crystals (PS-BPLC) have attracted many attentions in the area of display and photonic applications because of the superior electro-optical properties. Before application, the problem of high driving voltage should be resolved first. In this report, a new chiral monomer (C5011) has been synthesised and its influence on PS-BPLC was investigated. By adopting this chiral monomer, the Kerr constant of the PS-BPLC could be increased dramatically, which means improved driving capacity can be achieved. (forumula persented)
