The polarization of light underpins a variety of recent technological innovations, including 3D cinema and LCDs. In LCDs, tiny electronically controllable liquid crystal elements are sandwiched between polarizers. If, instead, other transparent polarization-altering films—like cellophane gift wrap and packaging tape—are placed between a set of polarizers, an array of polarization-filtered colors can be observed.
