High-resolution display using a laser-addressed ferroelectric liquid-crystal light valve

The laser-addressed ferroelectric liquid crystal light valve (FLCLV) consists of metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) photoconductive sensor and ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC). It has a high resolving power of 50 1p/mm for laser pulse recording and 130 1p/mm for 2-dimensional image recording. The multibeam laser scanning method is applied in this display system, which achieves high writing speed (0.5 s/frame) and high resolution (1500 X 1600 pixels--higher than that of HDTV.
