Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0181990A1] A liquid crystal cell assembly (30) is described which eliminates high-order multiple-beam interference from reflections at the interfaces between the various elements. It can incorporate fixed retarders (35) for compensation or production of high retardances. The invention enables standard, economical methods to be used in making the liquid crystal cell (31), retarder elements (35), optical coatings (37), and overall assembly. Transmissive and reflective embodiments are shown.
