Abstract
New three dimensional (3d) displays exploiting patterned retardation elements
(i) external and (ii) internal to the LCD are discussed. The fabrication of a
13.8" diagonal patterned retardation element from reactive mesogen, which co-operates with a polariser to form a parallax barrier, is described.
An electrically switching LC cell demonstration incorporating a polariser and retarder array inside the LC cell itself has been fabricated and results are presented.
