Features of BP-LCD:1. No need for polyimide alignment layers2. < 1 ms response time (instead of 5 ms). This enables
color sequencing using RGB LED backlight. Hence:• No need for color filters• 3X lower power consumption• 3X higher resolution
3. Insensitive to cell gap Simpler fabrication
UCF contributions:1. Developed better physical models of Kerr effect2. Invented protruded electrodes to reduce operating
voltage from > 50V to < 10V
