4.1: Distinguished Student Paper: Low-Voltage and Hysteresis-Free Blue-Phase LCD with Vertical Field Switching

We report a new polymer-stabilized blue-phase liquid crystal display with vertical field switching (VFS) and oblique incident backlight. This VFS mode offers several attractive features, such as low operation voltage, high transmittance, submillisecond response time, and negligible hysteresis and residual birefringence.
