摘要: This invention provides achromatic liquid crystal compound retarders, polarization switches, and shutters using the retarders. It further variable retardance smectic The retarder of this comprises a central unit two external passive retarders positioned in series with on either side unit. (1) rotatable half-wave retarder, or (2) first second having switchable between zero half-wave. are equal orientation to each other. Design equations determine elements their relative obtain particular for structure.
