DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0053] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0054] Phase delay can be described as in-plane delay and out-of-plane delay. In-plane delay refers to the product of the difference between the in-plane mutually orthogonal refractive index and the thickness of the optical element; out-of-plane delay refers to the product of the difference between the refractive index along the thickness direction of the optical element and the average in-plane refractive index and the thickness of the optical element. In general, the liquid crystal molecules in the silicon-based liquid crystal are arranged in a certain angle inclined to the normal of the panel, which leads to the liquid crystal structure having both in-plane residual delay and out-of-plane residual delay. The incident light perpendicular to the panel only suffers from in-plane delay, while the oblique incident light suffers from both in-plane delay and out-of-plane delay. In order to eliminate the in-plane delay and out-of-plane delay of the liquid crystal structure, in the prior art, the in-plane delay and out-of-plane delay of the liquid crystal structure are generally eliminated by an external compensation sheet. However, in this way, the compensation sheet and the liquid crystal structure need to be precisely aligned to make their positions relatively fixed, which in turn leads to a long preparation time and high cost of the imaging system.
