Liquid Crystal Microlenses for Autostereoscopic Displays
Three-dimensional vision has acquired great importance in the audiovisual industry in the past ten years. Despite this, the first generation of autostereoscopic displays failed to generate enough consumer excitement. Some reasons are little 3D content and performance issues. For this reason, an exponential increase in three-dimensional vision research has occurred in the last few years. In this...
متن کاملOptimised Glass Rod Drawing Process for Gradient-Index Microlenses
Gradient-index (GRIN) microlenses (Fig. 1 inset) are important components for example in highresolution optical sensors, optical communication and in technical as well as in medical endoscopy [1, 2]. The ability of GRIN lenses to have plane optical surfaces offers great qualitative advantages in the mounting and miniaturisation of microoptical systems. Instead of the conventional spherical lens...
متن کاملNote: Electrical modeling and characterization of voltage gradient in liquid crystal microlenses.
In this work, a novel equivalent electric circuit for modeling liquid crystal microlenses is proposed. This model is focused on explaining a lens behavior at the micrometric scale, using its manufacturing parameters. It suggests an approach to predict the solution of the voltage gradient distribution across a microlens. An interesting feature of the model is that it provides an analytical solut...
متن کاملGradient polymer network liquid crystal with a large refractive index change.
A simple approach for preparing gradient polymer network liquid crystal (PNLC) with a large refractive index change is demonstrated. To control the effective refractive index at a given cell position, we applied a voltage to a homogeneous cell containing LC/diacrylate monomer mixture to generate the desired tilt angle and then stabilize the LC orientation with UV-induced polymer network. By var...
متن کاملHigh temperature-gradient refractive index liquid crystals.
We have analyzed the physical origins of the temperature gradient of the ordinary refractive index ( dn(o) /dT) of liquid crystals. To achieve a large dn(o) /dT , high birefringence and low clearing temperature play crucial roles. Based on these simple guidelines, we formulated two exemplary liquid crystal mixtures, designated as UCF-1 and UCF-2, and compared their physical properties with a co...
