System and method for liquid crystal display system incorporating wire grid polarizers for large scale and large volume stereolithography
Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a liquid crystal display (LCD) system. The system in one example has a light source for generating unpolarized light, and an LCD screen arranged in a path of transmittance of the unpolarized light. First and second wire grid polarizers are arranged adjacent to the LCD screen and each have a plurality of nano-scale wires, with the first and second wire grid polarizers have differing polarizations. A pitch of each of the nano-scale wires is no larger than one-third a wavelength of the unpolarized light from the light source. The wire grid polarizers create, in connection with operation of the LCD screen, a 2D light mask suitable for initiating the polymerization of an optically curable material.
