A fast‐switching polymer‐stabilized chiral homeotropic (PS‐CH) mode is demonstrated. The surface‐localized polymers solved the causes of slow response of chiral homeotropic (CH) mode: defect annihilation and flow‐induced optical bounce occur during electrical switching. PS‐CH mode conserves the benefits of CH mode such as suppressed wavelength dispersion and great dark state.
