Submillisecond-Response Polymer Network Liquid Crystal for Next-Generation Spatial Light Modulators

摘要

We report a scattering-free polymer network liquid crystal (PNLC) for spatial light modulator (SLM) applications. In reflective mode, the PNLC exhibits V_(2π)～23 V at λ=514 nm and 250 μs response time at room temperature. This enables PNLC to be integrated in a high resolution liquid-crystal-on-silicon device for next-generation SLM applications.
