Ferroelectric liquid crystal over silicon spatial light modulators-principles , practice and prospects

The hybrid technology which combines a thin layer of ferroelectric liquid crystal directly on top of a CMOS backplane has provided a hybrid technology for spatial light modulators which has already reached a mature stage of development. Devices of around 10 6 pixels are under construction. The use of devices in a number of systems has already been demonstrated.
