A low voltage and submillisecond-response polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal

We report a polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystal (BPLC) whose Kerr constant is about 2.2× larger than previous record. When filled in a 3.2-μm-thick vertical field switching cell, the on-state voltage is merely 8.4 V (at λ = 514 nm) while keeping submillisecond response time and negligible h...
