Conoscopic holography, which consists of two circular polarizers and an uniaxial crystal, is incoherent holographic technology for three-dimensional display and non-contact diagnosis. In this paper, we derive the longitudinal and lateral intensities from point-source hologram made by conoscopic holography. Also, the longitudinal and lateral resolutions of conoscopic holography will be obtained from the longitudinal and lateral intensities, respectively, according to Rayleigh criterion.

Display performance of mobile LCDs has been improved according to broadening of their application. But there are many demands from market, such as contrast improvement (high color reproducibility), higher efficiency of light usage, thickness reduction, widening its viewing angle and so on. To respond them we have been developing many new types of films. In this paper we introduce new high contrast white polarizers for better color reproducibility, and new film construction for higher light efficiency.

If an antiferroelectric liquid crystal (AFLC) cell is set between crossed polarizers for optical modulators or displays, it has low transmittance efficiency. This happens because AFLC materials have inherent tilt angles of typically $18^{\circ}{\sim}38^{\circ}$, not $45^{\circ}$. To improve the low transmittance efficiency, we propose a new optical configuration for antiferroelectric liquid crystal displays, which also improves color dispersion.

We have studied 90$^{\circ}$ twisted nematic mode switching by fringe electric field(F-TN mode) using a liquid crystal (LC) with negative dielectric anisotropy. In the device, two polarizers are parallel each other, electrodes exist only on bottom substrate, and one of rubbing direction is coincident with polarizer axis. Therefore, the cell shows a black state before a voltage is applied. With a bias voltage generating fringe-electric field, the LC twists perpendicular to fringe electric field such that the LCs are almost homogeneously aligned except near the bottom surface since the negative type of the LC is used. Consequently, the new device exhibits much wider viewing angle than that of the conventional TN mode due to in-plane switching and relatively high transmittance since the LC director above whole electrode area aligns parallel to the polarizer axis.

In this paper we propose a configuration for an optically compensated bend (OCB) mode using circular polarizers with wide-band wide-viewing-angle (WBWA) quarter-wave plates (QWPs). Parameters of LC material and compensation films are optimized for wide viewing angle characteristics and excellent spectral properties of the OCB mode.

Conoscopic holography, which consists of two linear polarizers and two wave plates, and an uniaxial crystal, is incoherent holographic technology for three-dimensional display. In the uniaxial crystal, the wave from object divides into extraordinary and ordinary waves and phase difference between two waves is caused by the different refractive index of two waves. Four intensity patterns, which are made by phase difference, are obtained using LCLV(liquid crystal light valve) and conoscopic holography system. By combining four intensity patterns, the complex hologram without bias and conjugate image. In this paper, we propose the optimized system, which consists of a wave plate and a linear polarizer, and uniaxial crystal. In the proposed system, it doesn't need LCLV. By adjusting the azimuth angle of a linear polarizer and a wave plate, we derive four intensity patterns in recording plane. We demonstrate theoretically that the complex hologram with bias and a conjugate image is obtained using the proposed system.

We would like to show a measuring technique of azimuthal anchoring energy of the nematic liquid crystals. The electro-optical setup of liquid crystal cell, crossed polarizers and magnetic field was assumed. The planar or hybrid alignment cells were prepared. The director in the light entering substrate and the polarization of light was adjusted into parallel to the magnetic field. The director orientation of exit substrate and analyser maintained perpendicular to the magnetic field. As the magnetic field strength is increased, the director deviates from the easy axis and rotates to the field direction. We obtained an equation calculating the change of transmission with the field and measured experimentally the transmission. By comparing the calculating and experimental data, we obtained the azimuthal anchoring strength.

The effect of the birefringence existing in the Faraday rotator on the isolation and transmission properties of the isolator was investigated. To maintain isolation of 50dB, both the deviation of the transmission angle between input and output polarizers and the deviation of the Faraday ratation angle are permitted to .+-.0.18.deg. for birefringenceless isolator and to .+-.0.09.deg. for birefringent isolator. This means that the isolator possessing linear birefringence of 0.5.deg. requires 505 more accurage adjustment than that of no birefringence. We also simulated the characteristics of wavelength dependence for both the virefringent isolator and the birefringencelless isolator. It is also found that formward transmission loss doesn't varing much with small birefringence.

We printed a one-dimensional array of metallic wires and a two-dimensional array of metallic split ring resonators on a photo-paper by using a high-dots-per-inch resolution printer and an ink with silver nano-particles. The printed sample sizes are $1.0{\times}1.0cm^2$. The transmission measured by a terahertz time domain spectroscopy system shows that the arrays of wires and split ring resonators could act as polarizers and band-stop filters, respectively, in a terahertz frequency region.

We describe dried oriented films with anisotropic structural and optical properties prepared from the aqueous solutions of plank-like molecules, the so-called Lyotropic Chromonic Liquid Crystals (LCLCs). The dried LCLC films may be used as optical elements, such as polarizers, compensators, color filters, or retardation plates in the UV, visible, or infrared parts of spectrums. The optical quality of the films is determined by the uniformity of the molecular alignment, which often distorted by periodic variations of the director field. We describe different ways to improve the alignment properties of the films by using additives. We present compositions capable of polarizing effects in visible and UV parts of spectrum.
