Meta-optics redefines microdisplay: monolithic color LCoS without polarization dependency.

ABSTRACT: Liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) panels are pivotal to high-resolution optical projection and imaging displays, yet their inherent polarization sensitivity and reliance on multi-chip architectures for color reproduction constrain the upper limit of light utilization, increase system complexity and restrict broader applicability. Here, we demonstrate a monolithic color meta-LCoS prototype that integrates dual-layer metasurfaces to achieve polarization-insensitive, full-color amplitude modulation on a single chip. Polarization sensitivity is eliminated via a synergistic design combining metasurface-enabled polarization conversion and voltage-controlled liquid crystal phase modulation, achieving a high-contrast, polarization-insensitive optical switch.
