The image that is displayed on the LCD can be selectively screened by varying the view angle.
Ya-Hsin Tseng, et al., Optics Express 25, 33134-33142 (2017)
The hexagonal ZnSe & Se nanoparticles can be fabricated by properly controlling the fluences of the irradiating fs laser. The nanostructure with anisotropic transmission characteristics on ITO films induced by fs laser can be used for the alignment layer, polarizer and conducting layer in LCD cell. The nanostructure on the surface of ITO films significantly attenuates blue light, which are suited to eye protection and the screening of images behind ITO films for information security.
