Mantis shrimp species (Odontodactylus scyllarus) turned out to not only have an impressive display, but also gifted with the ability of 'catch' the light is polarized on which to base the development of 3D technology.
"Light can indeed be seen humans, but the vibration of an electric wave can not be seen. Mantis shrimp is able to see polarized light and vibration of the electric field from a variety of colors," said Jen Yi-jun, Electro-Optical professor of National Taipei University of Technology, Taipei.
Excess was then inspired him to develop new materials with structures similar to the mantis shrimp eye lens. Together Akhlesh Lakhtakia from Pennsylvania State University, Jen developed a material called waveplate.
According to Jen, the material can be used to filter light with a wider spectrum of optical devices on a DVD player available today. With this innovation, movie fans will be able to watch 3D movies with better quality.
Explain in more detail, Jen says, "We want to change the polarization without affecting the amount of light absorbed. We want a good transmittance and polarization occurs with a frequency independent. In other words, we do not want to change the color."
Based on the report Taiwantoday.tw site, waveplate which was entering a patented process developed in Taiwan. In the future, this technology can also be used to develop the 3D glasses so that users can get a better visual experience.
