Abstract

ABSTRACTA transflective polymer-stabilised blue-phase liquid crystal display (BP-LCD) with partitioned wall-shaped electrodes is proposed. The etched polymer layer contributes to balance the optical phase retardation between transmissive (T) and reflective (R) regions. The partitioned wall-shaped electrodes generate uniform and horizontal fields throughout the entire LC layer to induce isotropic-to-anisotropic transition in the blue-phase liquid crystal medium through Kerr effect. Consequently, the accumulated phase retardation along beam path is large, resulting in reasonable low operation voltage and high transmittance both in T and R regions. This approach enables the BP-LCD to be addressed by amorphous silicon thin-film transistors. Moreover, it exhibits wide viewing angle and a well-matched gamma curve.
