Abstract:
Example embodiments relate to an optical shutter including a first polarization filter having a nanopore-cholesteric liquid crystal layer, which includes a cholesteric liquid crystal matrix and a plurality of liquid crystal nanopores embedded in the cholesteric liquid crystal matrix, and having a reflective wavelength band that varies according to electrical control, and a second polarization filter that is parallel to the first polarization filter, includes a nanopore-cholesteric liquid crystal layer, which includes a cholesteric liquid crystal matrix and a plurality of liquid crystal nanopores embedded in the cholesteric liquid crystal matrix, and has a reflective wavelength band that varies according to electrical control.
Abstract:
An apparatus for generating an image representing an object is provided. The apparatus may include a filtering unit configured to acquire first light of a first wavelength band and second light of a second wavelength band, which are included in light reflected from the object, by using a single filter; a sensing unit configured to convert both the first light and the second light into charges or convert only the second light into charges; a first image generating unit configured to generate a first image representing the object by correcting color values corresponding to the charges into which the first light and the second light have been converted; and a second image generating unit configured to generate a second image representing the object by using the charges into which the second light has been converted.
