We propose an electrically tunable narrow bandwidth bandpass filter in which the band gap of polymer stabilized blue phase liquid crystal (PS-BPLC) with distinct crystallographic orientations can be tuned on electric field sweeps from red to blue with a narrow bandwidth (27 nm). Owing to the narrow bandwidth which can cut specific wavelength, it could be used as a filter to enhance color gamut in LCDs. In addition, the proposed bandpass filter exhibits much wider viewing angle property than Cholesteric LC bandpass filter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
