Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Polarization modulation with in-plane switching of liquid crystals (LCs) may be used in active retarder stereoscopic display systems where viewers wear passive eyewear to see isolated left and right eye images. Embodiments of the present disclosure may include nematic LC or fast switching ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC), depending on the desired performance.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of providing stereoscopic images, the method comprising: directing polarized light from a display along a light path towards an in-plane liquid crystal modulator, wherein the in-plane liquid crystal modulator comprises at least one liquid crystal cell having substantially no out-of-plane retardance; receiving the polarized light at the at least one liquid crystal cell; switching the at least one liquid crystal cell between first and second in-pl…
