Project 1.1.1.1/18/A/120 “Improvement of Electro-Optical Characteristics of Liquid Crystal Shutters” Q3 2021 update

LightSpace Technologies, Ltd. in cooperation with EuroLCDs, Ltd. has successfully finished the project “Improvement of Electro-Optical Characteristics of Liquid Crystal Shutters” on Q3 of 2021 (Project number 1.1.1.1/18/A/120).
During project implementation, we have achieved more than planned. In total 5 new assets have been registered in project partners balance sheets, 3 scientific publications already published in SCOPUS citated journals and one more is on the way, instead of only two planned in journals that are not citated in SCOPUS. There are 3 new workplaces for new scientists who will continue to work in the companies participated in the project. Patent application has been prepared and submitted thus achieving planned result of IP right protection.
Project finish is only a milestone, definitely not the finish line of our technology. Gained knowledge in cholesteric-type liquid crystal optical shutter element electro-optical development will allow us to achieve better 3D display systems picture quality and enable further achievements in this field.
The total planned costs of the project are EUR 0.84 million, including ERAF co-funding EUR 514 507.62.

Project 1.1.1.1/18/A/120 “Improvement of Electro-Optical Characteristics of Liquid Crystal Shutters” Q2 2021 update

LightSpace Technologies, Ltd. in cooperation with EuroLCDs, Ltd. has successfully finished the Q2 of the project “Improvement of Electro-Optical Characteristics of Liquid Crystal Shutters” 2021 (Project number 1.1.1.1/18/A/120).
LightSpace Technologies, Ltd. and EuroLCDs, Ltd. are continuing to work on most activities of project – from different experimental material sample preparation and further research in cooperation with scientific institutes, to analyzing the received results of the research.
The optimization of dopant synthesis was finished as planned. Central Financing and Contracting Agency has allowed us to amend grant agreement extending final term for 3 more months, so that last work results are included in final report.
EuroLCDs has prepared prototypes with selected coatings which have been evaluated.
The main objective of the proposed project is to gain deeper knowledge about how to improve the electro-optical characteristics of the cholesteric-type liquid crystal optical shutter (diffuser) elements with the primary field of application in volumetric 3D display systems.
The project is planned to be completed by the end of the September, 2021.
The total costs of the project are EUR 0.8 million, including ERAF co-funding EUR 514 530.55.

Project 1.1.1.1/18/A/120 “Improvement of Electro-Optical Characteristics of Liquid Crystal Shutters” Q1 2021 update

LightSpace Technologies, Ltd. in cooperation with EuroLCDs, Ltd. has successfully finished the Q1 of the project “Improvement of Electro-Optical Characteristics of Liquid Crystal Shutters” 2021 (Project number 1.1.1.1/18/A/120).
LightSpace Technologies, Ltd. and EuroLCDs, Ltd. are continuing to work on most activities of project – from different experimental material sample preparation and further research in cooperation with scientific institutes, to analyzing the received results of the research.
The optimization of dopant synthesis is in the process as planned and no delays for dopant larger sample are expected.
ISSP prepared samples have been reviewed and analyzed, reports of results prepared. EuroLCDs has prepared prototypes with selected coatings which have been evaluated.
The main objective of the proposed project is to gain deeper knowledge about how to improve the electro-optical characteristics of the cholesteric-type liquid crystal optical shutter (diffuser) elements with the primary field of application in volumetric 3D display systems.
The project is planned to be completed by the end of the June, 2021.
The total costs of the project are EUR 0.8 million, including ERAF co-funding EUR 514 530.55.
