Switchable 2D/3D Display – Solid Phase Liquid Crystal Microlens Array
نویسنده
چکیده
A new solid phase liquid crystal microlens array has been applied to Polarisation Activated Microlens flat panel displays that can be electrically reconfigured between a full performance 2D mode and a low cross talk autostereoscopic 3D mode. The solid phase microlens array enables significant reductions in device thickness and improved ruggedness compared to nematic phase liquid crystalline microlens arrays. The elements are readily manufactured and compatible with existing LCD and OLED displays.

Fast-response liquid crystal lens for 3D displays
Three-dimensional (3D) display has become an increasingly important technology trend for information display applications. Dozens of different 3D display solutions have been proposed. The autostereoscopic 3D display based on lenticular microlens array is a promising approach, and fast-switching microlens array enables this system to display both 3D and conventional 2D images. Here we report two...
متن کاملOptically anisotropic microlens array film directly formed on a single substrate.
An optically anisotropic microlens array film directly formed on a single substrate is demonstrated. UV curable diacrylate monomers are coated as a film on the substrate. Under the action of fringing field, not only the film surface is flattened by the generated dielectric force but also the monomers are reoriented to form a gradient refractive index (GRIN) distribution in the film. Via UV expo...
متن کاملA Polarization Independent Microlens using Two Blue-Phase Liquid Crystal Layers with Different Kerr Constant
We propose a new microlens device structure using two polymerstabilized blue phase liquid crystal layers whose Kerr constant is largely different. Such a polarization independent microlens has a simple structure and desired parabolic phase profile. Its applications for 2D/3D switchable displays and other photonic devices are emphasized.

An adaptive microlens structure is proposed using two polymer-stabilized blue-phase liquid-crystal layers whose Kerr constant is largely mismatched. This device exhibits several favorable features, such as polarization independence, simple structure, and good parabolic phase profile. Its applications for 2D/3D switchable displays and other photonic devices are emphasized.
متن کاملPolarizer-free liquid crystal display with electrically switchable microlens array.
We propose a polarizer-free liquid crystal display (LCD) with an electrically switchable microlens array. The incident lights are controlled to focused or defocused states by index matching of the lens polymer and LC layer. By adopting two light-blocking masks that have a circular stop pattern and the complementary open pattern, the LCD was able to realize the entire gray scale. Additionally, t...
