Motivations for using ferroelectric liquid crystal spatial light modulators in neurocomputing.

Spatial light modulators can be used in neurocomputing as input and output display devices and storage media for the synaptic weights. We discuss the operating characteristics of a new class of spatial light modulator that utilize ferroelectric liquid crystals and their application to building optical neural network architectures.
