Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating and driving a blue phase liquid crystal display, comprising: arranging a first substrate opposite to a second substrate, wherein the first substrate comprises a first vertical electrode, an opposite electrode and a pixel electrode, and the second substrate comprises a second vertical electrode, and a vertical electric field is formed between the first vertical electrode and the second vertical electrode; arranging a blue phase liquid crystal layer sealed between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the blue phase liquid crystal layer comprises a positive blue phase liquid crystal and a monomer; applying a curing voltage to the first vertical electrode of the first substrate and the second vertical electrode of the second substrate such that the vertical electric field is formed in the blue phase liquid crystal layer and substantially perpendicular to the first vertical electrode and the second vertical electrode; illuminating the blue phase liquid crystal layer formed with the vertical electric field therein with a light source such that the monomer performs polymerization to produce a polymer-stabilized positive blue phase liquid crystal; and driving the polymer-stabilized positive blue phase liquid crystal by the opposite electrode and the pixel electrode of the first substrate.
