Abstract

For the development of large area or high resolution LCD (liquid crystal display) devices, it is necessary to have a proper understanding of the dynamic characteristics of LC cells, for which measurement of time-dependent transmission properties of LC cells is needed. In this paper, we present a real-time photo-polarimeter based on non-polarizing beam splitters for measuring the dynamic evolution of the state of polarization of the light passing through an LC cell.
