Optical Phase Modulation Properties of 1 μm-Pitch LCOS with Dielectric Walls for Wide-Viewing-Angle Holographic Displays.

We achieved individual-pixel phase modulation of 1 μm-pitch liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) using dielectric shield walls for wide-viewing-angle holographic displays. The simulation results clarified the dielectric walls could suppress the alignment disorder by the effect of elastic force of liquid crystal (LC) and fringe electric field to adjacent pixels. The LC alignment on the walls was also discussed experimentally. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
