碩士 === 國立彰化師範大學 === 光電科技研究所 === 102 === In this thesis, the electro-optical properties of ZnO nanoparticle-doped blue phase liquid crystal (BPLC) devices are investigated. The addition of ZnO nanoparticle expands the existing temperature range, reduces the hysteresis width, because the doped ZnO nanoparticles stabilize the BPLC structures. The doped ZnO nanoparticles also increase the platelet size of the BPLC. The wavelength shift of the BPLC with decreasing temperature is suppressed by the doping of ZnO nanoparticles, and the response time of the BPLC cell is decreased owing to the addition of ZnO nanoparticles.
