Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Three-dimensional displays promise to redefine the interaction between human and machines by creating depth cues. This technology has found applications in various fields, including education, medicine, entertainment, and the automobile industry. This Special Issue focuses on the development of the 3D displays with high resolution, large field of view, accurate depth cues and high light efficiency. In recent years, significant progress has been made regarding the materials and components utilized in 3D displays. A number of compound lens arrays, lenticular lens arrays and microlens arrays with improved parameters have been developed. Novel planar optical elements such as metasurfaces, liquid crystal gratings, and diffraction flat lenses have promoted promising 3D display results. The tunable materials employed in 3D displays, such as liquid crystal, lithium niobate and vanadium dioxide, have also advanced rapidly. Therefore, the characteristics and parameters of 3D display technology and 3D display systems have been enhanced. In addition, the novel application of novel optical materials and components for 3D displays has been demonstrated.
This Special Issue welcomes the submission of manuscripts that provide an overview of recent advances in key optical materials and components for 3D displays. All theoretical, numerical and experimental papers will be accepted.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Photonics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
