Fast response time is the most attractive feature of polymer‐stabilized blue phase liquid crystals (PS‐BPLCs). We have investigated the response time of a PS‐BPLC under various electric fields and proposed a double‐relaxation model to explain the possible mechanisms. These results will guide the future device design for keeping fast response time while suppressing hysteresis.
