P-38: Novel Full-Color Stereoscopic Printing and Painting

摘要

We report, for the first time, a breakthrough stereoscopic printing and painting technology that is based on novel polarizing inks made from cholesteric liquid crystal pigments. Polarization encoding is the principle for creating the 3D picture. These inks can be printed and painted on any surface by conventional printing or painting tools. The ink's reflection spectrum, polarization properties, thermal stability, and viewing angle dependence have been fully characterized. We also demonstrate the first polarization-encoded stereoscopic print.
