title: Preparation and optical properties of Fe3O4nanoparticles-doped blue phase liquid crystal.
abstract: The magnetic Fe3O4nanoparticle-doped blue phase liquid crystal (BPLC) was found to have a relatively strong contrast ratio in magnetic-addressed display performance compared to the composites in other phases; this is a new application of the BPLC and a way to prepare a new type of power-free magnetically-driven LC flexible display.
