Self-positioning microdevices enable adaptable spatial displaying

Adaptable display with spatial imaging, fostering advancements in extended reality with unconventional form requirements, is indispensable in scientific research, telemedicine, rescue, and space exploration. The adjustable photon spin angular momentum derived from chiral optical materials offer applicative lights for binocular stereo imaging displays, thus allowing an unimaginable immersive experience while maintaining awareness of surroundings. However, current chiral illuminant struggles to obtain adequate electroluminescence asymmetry during power-on display. Here, we present a designed self-positioning strategy to build new flexible spatial displays, integrating numerous multilayered circularly polarized electroluminescent microdevices, for real-time depth information control on the screen. With the devices' luminescence asymmetry value of up to 1.0 under electro-excitation, we visualize third-dimensional information using our chiral material-integrated tablet. Afterward, combined with a robot, we realize a series of remote human-machine interaction operations based on extended reality conditions. Our adaptable spatial display bridges the gap between virtuality and reality, making pioneering explorations in chiral luminous fields for extended reality and beyond.

Abstract

Adaptable display with spatial imaging, fostering advancements in extended reality with unconventional form requirements, is indispensable in scientific research, telemedicine, rescue, and space exploration. The adjustable photon spin angular momentum derived from chiral optical materials offer applicative lights for binocular stereo imaging displays, thus allowing an unimaginable immersive experience while maintaining awareness of surroundings. However, current chiral illuminant struggles to obtain adequate electroluminescence asymmetry during power-on display. Here, we present a designed self-positioning strategy to build new flexible spatial displays, integrating numerous multilayered circularly polarized electroluminescent microdevices, for real-time depth information control on the screen. With the devices' luminescence asymmetry value of up to 1.0 under electro-excitation, we visualize third-dimensional information using our chiral material-integrated tablet. Afterward, combined with a robot, we realize a series of remote human-machine interaction operations based on extended reality conditions. Our adaptable spatial display bridges the gap between virtuality and reality, making pioneering explorations in chiral luminous fields for extended reality and beyond.
