    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide a variable optical attenuator. The variable optical attenuator includes: a collimator, a switchable polarization grating, a reflector, and a voltage controller for adjusting a voltage between electrodes at both ends of a liquid crystal layer of the switchable polarization grating, where the collimator, the switchable polarization grating, and the reflector are disposed successively; the collimator is configured to receive incident light and output the incident light to the switchable polarization grating; the switchable polarization grating is configured to diffract the incident light for one time and then perform emission onto the reflector; the switchable polarization grating is further configured to diffract, for one time, a beam reflected back by the reflector, and then emit resulting diffracted light; and the collimator is further configured to receive the diffracted light and output the diffracted light.

    摘要: A color changing or beam steering photonic device, which combines a high contrast metastructure (HCM) having a plurality of high index grating structures, into a low index membrane. In response to physical (or electrical) deformation of the membrane the low index gaps between adjacent grating bars changes which results in changing reflectance and transmission angles for steering a single wavelength of light and for causing a color change in said photonic device when subject to multiple light wavelengths. Deformation can result from direct physical stimulus, conversion from electrical or thermal to physical, and so forth. Refractive index change can also be initiated by carrier injection through electrodes. The apparatus is exemplified for use in color displays, beam steering, labeling micro entities, mechanical deformation sensing, camouflage, anti-counterfeiting, and other fields.

    摘要: A quantum rod film for a backlight unit of a liquid crystal display is disclosed herein. The quantum rod includes a first barrier layer, a sub-wavelength microstructure on the first barrier layer, and a plurality of quantum rods, wherein the sub-wavelength microstructure includes gratings aligned n a parallel direction an alignment microstructure disposed in grooves between the gratings in a direction perpendicular to the gratings, and a reflective layer on upper surfaces of the gratings. A plurality of quantum rods are arranged in the alignment microstructure of the sub-wavelength microstructure, and major axes of the quantum rods are aligned in a direction perpendicular to the gratings.
