Abstract
An active PBP device having a reduced chromatic and angular dependence of focusing power includes a stack of active PBP devices where each PBP LC element of the stack has a birefringence of odd number of half wavelengths at one of the R, G, B color channels, and even number of half wavelengths at remaining ones of the R, G, B color channels. Retarder sheets are used to improve off-axis operation of the active PBP device. The device can be placed near user's eye in a head mounted display.
