Introduction

We are looking for an enthusiastic PhD candidate to integrate one-way transparent liquid crystal polymer films into functional optical demonstrators. The position is embedded in the research group of Dr. Danqing Liu at Eindhoven University of Technology and is part of the project TactVision: The Liquid Crystal Polymer Invisibility Cloak.
The project develops advanced liquid crystal polymer coatings that allow projected information to be visible from one side while remaining hidden from the opposite side. These films can enable new optical interfaces for augmented reality glasses, smart visors, privacy-protective displays, and adaptive photonic devices. This PhD project will focus on the transition from material films to working devices.
You will develop methods to integrate one-way transparent films onto curved, transparent substrates and AR-style optical components. This includes lamination, encapsulation, optical alignm...
