Liquid Crystal On Silicon

Fine pixel size and high-resolution liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) backplanes have been developed by various companies and research groups since 1973. The development of LCoS is not only beneficial for full high definition displays but also to spatial light modulation. The high-quality and well-calibrated panels can project computer generated hologram (CGH) designs faithfully for phase-only holography, which can be widely utilized in 2D/3D holographic video projectors and components for optical telecommunications. As a result, we start by summarizing the current status of high-resolution panels, followed by addressing issues related to the driving frequency (i.e., liquid crystal response time and hardware interface). LCoS panel qualities were evaluated based on the following four characteristics: phase linearity control, phase precision, phase stability, and phase accuracy.

Linear Polarizer

The methods to enhance contrast ratios (CRs) in scattering-type transflective liquid crystal displays (ST-TRLCDs) based on polymer-network liquid crystal (PNLC) cells are investigated. Two configurations of ST-TRLCDs are studied and are compared with the common ST-TRLCDs. According to the comparisons, CRs are effectively enhanced by assembling a linear polarizer at the suitable position to achieve better dark states in the transmissive and reflective modes of the reported ST-TRLCDs with the optimized configuration, and its main trade-off is the loss of brightness in the reflective modes. The PNLC cell, which works as an electrically switchable polarizer herein, can be a PN-90° twisted nematic LC (PN-90° TNLC) cell or a homogeneous PNLC (H-PNLC) cell. The optoelectric properties of PN-90° TNLC and those of H-PNLC cells are compared in detail, and the results determine that the ST-TRLCD with the optimized configuration using an H-PNLC cell can achieve the highest CR. Moreover, no quarter-wave plate is used in the ST-TRLCD with the optimized configuration, so a parallax problem caused by QWPs can be solved. Other methods for enhancing the CRs of the ST-TRLCDs are also discussed.
