Abstract

We demonstrated a liquid crystal display (LCD) mode with a single polarizer based on the array of a switchable microlens consisting of a circular stop mask and its complementary open mask. The focused beam passed through the open mask and thus the bright state was obtained, while the defocused beam was blocked by the stop mask and the complementary open mask. It is expected that our single-polarizer LCD mode is applicable to low cost displays.
