Problems solved by technology

However, this approach has not been reasonably and effectively applied to blue-phase materials so far, mainly due to the inherent instability of blue-phase liquid crystals.
It is still a promising but challenging work to prepare self-supporting, high-reflectivity, and wide-temperature-range blue-phase liquid crystal materials through simple methods

Abstract

The invention provides a self-supporting blue-phase liquid crystal film. The self-supporting blue-phase liquid crystal film comprises the following components in percentage by mass: 3-7% of chiral liquid crystal, 24-93% of achiral polymerizable liquid crystal, 0-65% of achiral small molecular liquid crystal and 4-12% of non-liquid crystal cross-linking agent. The blue-phase liquid crystal film canrealize self-supporting and is not limited by a liquid crystal box, so that the application range of the blue-phase liquid crystal film is greatly expanded; the temperature range of the blue phase isnot lower than 220 DEG C, and the reflection band gap and the reflectivity can be regulated and controlled by adjusting the proportion of all the raw materials. In addition, the blue-phase liquid crystal film is simple to prepare and operate, low in cost and suitable for large-scale preparation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of liquid crystal films, in particular to a self-supporting blue phase liquid crystal film and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Photonic crystals are composed of periodic arrangements of materials with different dielectric constants, and have distinct structural colors. The structural color of photonic crystals mainly comes from the ability of its periodic structure to regulate light. The blue phase liquid crystal is also considered as a three-dimensional photonic crystal. Blue phase liquid crystals usually appear between the isotropic state and the cholesteric phase state, with only a temperature range of 0.5 to 2 degrees. At present, many methods have been developed to stabilize the blue phase and broaden the temperature range of the blue phase, such as: polymer stabilization method, nanoparticle doping method, bending liquid crystal molecule stabilization method, T-type molecular stabil...
