Abstract

To develop a flexible liquid crystal display (LCD) with a wide viewing angle range and high contrast ratio, we have proposed a flexible blue-phase LC device sustained by polymer walls inside the LC cell. We clarified that the polymer walls can maintain a constant cell gap and suppress the generation of alignment defects of the blue-phase LC in a bending state.
