| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To achieve the high quality flexible liquid crystal displays (LCDs) with wide viewing angle range and high contrast ratio, we have proposed a flexible blue phase LC device sustained by the polymer walls structure inside of the LC cell.
We clarified that the polymer walls structure was successfully fabricated in the flexible blue phase LC cell using plastic substrates by the UV irradiation through a photo mask and low intensity of UV light is effective to realize a rigid wall structure and low driving voltage.In addition, we clarified that the polymer walls structure can suppress the alignment defects appeared in the bending state by reducing the spacer movement caused by the pressure from bended substrates. We successfully achieved the flexible blue phase LC device with high contrast ratio and wide viewing angle range.
