  The direct-write technology for liquid-crystal patterns allows for
manufacturing of extreme geometric phase patterned coronagraphs that are
inherently broadband, e.g. the vector Apodizing Phase Plate (vAPP). We present
on-sky data of a double-grating vAPP operating from 2-5 $\mu m$ with a
360-degree dark hole and a decreased leakage term of $\sim 10^{-4}$. We report
a new liquid-crystal design used in a grating-vAPP for SCExAO that operates
from 1-2.5$\mu m$. Furthermore, we present wavelength-selective vAPPs that work
at specific wavelength ranges and transmit light unapodized at other
wavelengths. Lastly, we present geometric phase patterns for advanced
implementations of WFS (e.g. Zernike-type) that are enabled only by this
liquid-crystal technology.
