45.1: A volumetric 3D display system based on coded PDLC

In this paper, we present an optically transparent multi‐planar 3D display device based on multi‐passive matrixed coded pixelated polymer‐dispersed liquid crystals (PDLC). The PDLC film used in this experiment has high transparency transmission (97.1%) and fast switching time characteristics within 20ms. We provide a method to display different depth‐of‐field images by layering them on a multi‐layer screen, by which it is possible to render near and far views in different planes, thus bringing 3‐dimensional visual information to the observer, ultimately A proof‐of‐concept prototype of a dual‐plane 3D display has been realized.
