  • Publication number: 20240027960
    Abstract: A holographic printing system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is disclosed. The system may include: a light source; a geometrical phase holographic element having a phase retardation of ?/4; and an optical member for copying and printing a wavefront through self-interference of light transmitted through the geometrical phase holographic element. According to an embodiment, the light source, the geometrical phase holographic element, and the optical member may be disposed in a line. According to an embodiment, the geometrical phase holographic element and the optical member may be disposed with a predetermined distance therebetween, and the predetermined distance may be a distance that enables self-interference of light transmitted through the geometrical phase holographic element.

  • Patent number: 8629968
    Abstract: The liquid crystal display device may include a first electrode; a second electrode facing the first electrode and forming a vertical electrical field together with the first electrode; a blue phase liquid crystal layer provided between the first electrode and the second electrode; and a first prism sheet provided to face the second electrode with the first electrode between the second electrode and the first prism sheet. The first prism sheet changes a path of incident light so that the incident light from the outside obliquely enters the blue phase liquid crystal layer with respect to the vertical electrical field.
