Novel liquid crystal alignment technology and materials applied to head mounted display

Abstract

Head mounted displays (HMDs) have attracted much interest in recent years for their potential in technologies of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). We have been focused on liquid crystal display (LCD) technologies for binocular-type HMDs. For obtaining high realistic sensations, we are now under development of the LCDs with high resolution over 1000 ppi (pixel per inch), fast response speed, wide-viewing angle, and high contrast ratio.
