3D Modelling of High Resolution Devices

An LCOS device has been simulated for both holographic and image display applications. A chequerboard pattern of on-off voltages has been applied in order to represent the highest supported spatial resolution. The accuracy with which this pattern is reproduced is presented as the pixel area is altered. It was found desirable to use a liquid crystal surface alignment conformal, as opposed to oblique, to the pixel grid in order to achieve sharp transitions between on and off pixels.
