As a promising candidate for next-generation mobile platforms
virtual reality and augmented reality have the potential to revolutionize the way we perceive and interact with various types of digital information. In the meantime
ultrathin planar liquid crystal polarization optics are enabling a new evolutionary trend in near-eye displays. A recent invited review paper published in
eLight
provides an insightful review on liquid crystal optical elements and their applications toward AR and VR.
