Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>A multi‐dopant material system for polymer‐stabilized (PS) blue phase liquid crystal (BPLC) is proposed. The driving capacity of PS‐BPLC can be improved by doping N‐vinylpyrrollidone (NVP) and polyaniline functionalized graphene (G‐PANI). With the dopant optimization, the Kerr constant is increased by 68%, and the response time, hysteresis and residual birefringence have no degradation.</p> </abstract>
