LIQUID CRYSTAL SHUTTER AND IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS

摘要

In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a liquid crystal shutter installed in an imaging device for three-dimensional (3D) imaging to divide an optical path. The liquid crystal shutter includes an upper plate, a lower plate, and a liquid crystal layer arranged between the upper plate and the lower plate. Each upper plate and lower plate includes a transparent plate; a polarization film formed on the outer surface of the transparent plate; and an electrode layer formed on the inner surface of the transparent plate. A heating unit for heating the liquid crystal layer is installed on one among the electrode layer of the upper plate and the electrode layer of the lower plate.
