Abstract
When polymer-stabilized blue-phase liquid crystal is driven by comb-shaped electrodes, a large electric field is generated near the electrodes, and electrostriction results in degradations in the switching speed of polymer-stabilized blue-phase liquid crystal. This optical switching engine is manufactured by inserting polymer-stabilized blue-phase liquid crystal between parallel plates on which are formed conventional thin film electrodes, followed by bonding a polarization grating plate thereto, and disposing or bonding two silicon wedges having triangular cross sections to the sides thereof so as to have rotational symmetry with each other.
