Electro-Optical Properties in Polymer-Stabilized Blue Phase of n-OCB Homologue Chiral Nematic Liquid Crystal Mixtures

초록

In this study, the chemical structures and physical property dependencies of the electro-optical properties were investigated in polymer-stabilized blue phase (BP) using the four kinds of 4-n-alkyloxy-4-cyanobiphenyl (n-OCB) homologue chiral nematic LCs. It was confirmed that the optical response time and Kerr coefficient in polymer-stabilized BP was varied with the molecular parity as determined by the alkyl chain length of the n-OCB homologue chiral nematic LC mixtures.
