We analyze the non-uniform electric field distribution in an in-plane-switching blue phase liquid crystal (IPS-BPLC) cell and use the director model to simulate the electro-optical properties of an IPS-BPLC cell using a commercial simulator. The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental data.
