Blue phase mode LCD
open-in-new
<p>A blue phase mode LCD is a <a href="/facts/Liquid_crystal_display/8B6xGBEz">liquid crystal display</a> (LCD) technology that uses highly twisted <a href="/facts/Liquid_crystal/ehCCST89">cholesteric phases</a> in a <a href="/facts/Liquid_crystal/ehCCST89">blue phase</a>. It was first proposed in 2007 to obtain a better display of moving images with, for example, frame rates of 100–120 Hz to improve the temporal response of LCDs. This operational mode for LCDs also does not require <a href="/facts/Anisotropic/YMqTQWVB">anisotropic</a> alignment layers (e.g., rubbed <a href="/facts/Polyimide/4nW9HVKF">polyimide</a>) and thus theoretically simplifies the LCD manufacturing process. </p>
