Schiff's bases with specific π-electron system have been synthesized and used as additives in holographic polymer-dispersed liquid crystals. It was observed that these substances modify different parameters such as current intensity, voltage, and diffracted light intensity. In addition, the maximum diffraction efficiency obtained in the reconstruction of the holograms is related to the additive molecule. We propose a relationship between this behavior and the molecular structure of these substances.

Metasurface with natural static structure limits the development of dynamic metasurface holographic display with rapid response and broadband. Currently, liquid crystal (LC) was integrated onto the metasurface to convert the passive metasuface into an active one. But, majority of LC-assisted active metasurfaces often exhibit trade-offs among degree of freedom (DoF, typically less than 2), information capacity, response speed, and crosstalk.

In this Letter, a reconfigurable holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal (HPDLC) grating template is presented that is obtained by removing the liquid crystal from a formed HPDLC grating. The diffraction characteristics of the HPDLC grating template are studied theoretically and experimentally. Compared to the typical HPDLC grating, the HPDLC grating template possesses higher diffraction efficiency with lower polarization dependency.

A specific optimized configuration for low threshold organic semiconductor laser based on a holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal (HPDLC) transmission grating was demonstrated. Here the organic semiconductor films and phase separated liquid crystal (LC) molecules were oriented along the direction of the HPDLC grating grooves. The influence of the organic semiconductor chain orientation and the excitation polarization on the optical properties of the materials has been investigated.

The multiplane augmented reality (AR) head-up display (HUD) is important in improving driving safety and comfort. In this paper, we propose an AR-HUD with switchable display modes based on polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) and lens holographic optical elements (HOEs), which can provide two display modes: the dual-virtual-image mode and the virtual-real-image mode. The dual-virtual-image mode can produce two virtual images at different depths, which can provide a better sense of reality integration for the driver to improve driving safety and comfort.

In general, the shape of traditional holographic grating is fixed and immutable, the period will not change after fabrication, this means that the modulation effect on the light field is unalterable. However, traditional grating cannot satisfy all requirements of current optical systems. In order to increase the versatility of holographic grating, a flexible curved radius grating (FCRG) which consists of holographic polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (H-PDLC) was proposed.
