Abstract
A polarization switch includes a pair of liquid crystal cells operating in counter-phase such that the thickness-direction retardation of the polarization switch is substantially independent on the switching state, and thus may be passively compensated by a fixed retarder. A passive compensation structure is provided to convert the input polarization state to the first polarization state together with the first LC cell in the undriven state, and to convert the input polarization state to the second polarization state together with the second LC cell in the undriven state.
