Abstract

In this paper, we present world-first TFT liquid crystal glasses (TFT-LCG) that display images to the passersby and have limited obstruction to the vision of wearers. By the concept of manipulating the polarization state of incident light with the liquid crystal, the appearance at the world side of the glasses is electrically controlled. The glasses display colored images with resolution of 36 pixels per inch and contrast ratio over 15. The viewing angle of wearer is almost the same as existing glasses and keep high MTF performance with TFT pixel traces. The driving power of the TFT-LCG is lower than 100mW with frame rate of 10 fps. Integrated with virtual platform and wireless control, the glasses can serve as a novel interaction medium between individuals. It opens a new path for how people connect with each other.
