ditional liquid crystal display devices have several problems, such as slow
response (millisecond order), the need for initial orientation by surface treat-
ments, and viewing-angle dependence. In contrast, polymer-stabilized blue
phases provide faster response (10 to 100
s), and are optically isotropic and
therefore require no treatment for initial orientation and have small viewing-
angle dependence (Fig. 17). If the remaining problems of high driving voltage
can be resolved, then we will be much closer to seeing real applications of blue
phases.
