Abstract
<p>A blue phase is a promising candidate as a next-generation liquid crystal display material because it exhibits a fast electro-optic effect represented by an optical switching between isotropic and anisotropic states without surface alignment treatment. A 6,6'-fluorobinaphthyl derivative was newly designed and synthesized as a chiral dopant to induce blue phases. A fluorinated nematic liquid crystal doped with the novel chiral dopant showed a lower critical chirality to induce a blue phase and a larger temperature range of blue phases than that doped with a conventional chiral dopant.</p>
