Research Abstract

A new approach to simultaneously extend the wavelength range of field-induced Bragg diffraction shift and the temperature range of thermodynamically stable BPs has been studied in this project. A new liquid crystal blue material system was shown using a dendron molecule to extend simultaneously the two blue phase ranges. One is the temperature range of thermodynamically stable blue phases. The other is the reversible maximum shift range of Bragg wavelength on the electric field. The physical mechanism of the dendron-stabilizing effect in blue phases is discussed in terms of elastic property and orientational order of liquid crystal molecules. The lattice structure of the blue phases and polymer-stabilized blue phases were closely investigated using confocal laser scanning optical microscope.
