Fabrication Method of Patterned Retarder Based on Electrohydrodynamic Instability
نویسندگان
چکیده
We proposed a fabrication method of the patterned retarder based on the electrohydrodynamic (EHD) instability. The anisotropic flow of the liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) film enables a net force induced by utilizing the distorted electric field. The patterned retarder based on the EHD instability has simple process with an easy control of the phase retardation and no residual LCP. Therefore, it is applicable to the three dimensional displays, transflective liquid crystal displays and other optical devices.

Numerical study of the faithful replication of micro/nanostructures on curved surfaces by the electrohydrodynamic instability process.
This paper reports the numerical study of the one-step faithful replication of micro/nano-scale structures on a fiber surface by using the electrohydrodynamic instability patterning (EHDIP) process. By employing a rigorous numerical analysis method, conditions are revealed under which the faithful replication of a pattern can be achieved from a curved master electrode. It is found that the radi...

متن کاملReflective three-dimensional displays using the cholesteric liquid crystal with an inner patterned retarder.
We propose a reflective three-dimensional (3D) display using a cholesteric liquid crystal (ChLC) with an inner patterned retarder producing half-wave retardation. The inner patterned retarder, fabricated by selective ultra-violet exposure to the aligned reactive mesogen, divides the circularly polarized light reflected from the ChLC layer into two orthogonal circular polarizations. These reflec...

We present a three dimensional (3D) Liquid crystal display (LCD) in a stereoscopic type using the single-polarizer LCD and in-cell patterned retarder. To construct 3D images in single-polarizer LCD with the microlens array, the micro-patterned retarder embedded the LCD generates two orthogonal polarizations.
