The logistics industry requires drone transportation with sufficient continuous flight range. Optical wireless power transmission is attracting attention as a solution. We are developing light guides with liquid crystal switch to channel light onto a power-generating element. This study examined liquid crystal alignments which are suitable for selectively directing light.
