62.2: <i>Invited Paper</i> : Fast Electro‐Optical Switching in Polymer‐Stabilized Liquid Crystalline Blue Phases for Display Application

Abstract

Abstract Blue phases have two major advantages over commonly used nematic phases:1) the response is much faster, 2) the zero‐electric field state is optically isotropic. We demonstrate the sufficiently large electric field‐induced birefringence and the micro‐second response of the polymer‐stabilized blue phases and the induced‐isotropic phases without any surface treatment.
