两种类型的液晶（LC）凝胶与径向或扭曲径向分子取向的制作使用的径向电场所产生的氧化铟锡孔电极在底部基板。如果顶部基板没有被抛光，则形成径向型LC凝胶，其可以将线偏振光转换为轴向偏振光。另一方面，如果顶部基板被均匀抛光，则产生扭曲径向LC凝胶，其可以将线偏振光转换为径向偏振光。这些偏振转换器可用于衍射光学和光学成像系统。
Two types of liquid crystal (LC) gels with radial or twisted-radial molecular orientation are fabricated using a radial electric field generated by an indium-tin-oxide hole electrode in the bottom substrate. If the top substrate is not buffed, the radial-type LC gel is formed which can convert linearly polarized light into axially polarized light. On the other hand, if the top substrate is homogeneously buffed, then a twisted-radial LC gel is produced which can convert linearly polarized light into radially polarized light. These polarization converters are useful for diffractive optics and optical imaging systems.
