ABSTRACT
The electro-optical properties of γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles doped polymer-stabilized blue phase liquid crystals are investigated. The experimental results show that the hysteresis were effectively suppressed by doping γ-Fe2O3. When doped with γ-Fe2O3 of 1.0 wt. %, hysteresis-free and fast response were achieved by the coupling effect of polymer and nanoparticle. Our research provides excellent guidance for the development of electro-optical devices with high grey scale accuracy and fast response.
