Temperature-insensitive electro-optic response of polymer-stabilized blue phases
Abstract
Polymer-stabilized blue phases (PSBP) – promising candidates for developing a new generation of advanced liquid crystal displays – still suffer from the temperature dependence of the operation voltage. Here, two non-mesogenic cross-linkers were found to induce different signs of the temperature coefficient. Combining these cross-linkers results in a nearly temperature-independent operation voltage, which makes application feasable.
