Emerging Polymer-Stabilized Blue Phase Liquid Crystal Display

Polymer-stabilized blue-phase liquid crystals hold great potential for future display applications. Some technical challenges, such as blue-phase temperature range, operation voltage, hysteresis, and voltage holding ratio remain to be overcome before widespread commercialization can be realized. In this paper, we review recent advances in this emerging technology.
