We demonstrate a polarization-independent distortion corrector fabricated using a polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) cell placed on the intermediate image plane of an optical system. At low voltage, a hazy PDLC cell scatters the incident rays and redirects the off-axis propagated chief ray. The chief ray approaches the principal point of the lens element, thereby decreasing image distortion.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Pin-Ruei Ding"

  • - Pin-Ruei Ding's research focuses on optical systems, specifically the enhancement of image quality through innovative optical components such as distortion correctors.
  • - One significant study demonstrated the use of a polarization-independent distortion corrector made from polymer-dispersed liquid crystals (PDLC), which effectively reduces image distortion by redirecting off-axis light rays.
  • - The findings indicate that by utilizing a hazy PDLC cell at low voltage, the chief ray can be manipulated to better align with the principal point of the lens, resulting in clearer and more accurate images in optical applications.
