We have successfully developed a novel transparent screen using inkjet‐printed cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) dots. By precisely orienting the CLCs in spherical layers, this transparent screen has wide viewing angle for front projection, and achieves both low haze and high screen gain. The clearness of this innovative projected image can make augmented reality applications look much more realistic.
