Liquid Crystal Light Valves

A liquid crystal light valve, also known as a spatial light modulator, is an optical device that modulates the intensity, phase, or polarization of light passing through it using liquid crystal technology. LCLVs consist of a layer of liquid crystal material sandwiched between transparent substrates with patterned electrodes. When an electric field is applied to the liquid crystal layer, its molecular orientation changes, altering the optical properties of the device. Learn more about liquid crystal light valves →

liquid crystal Liquid crystals are a state of matter that exhibits properties intermediate between those of conventional liquids and solid crystals. In a liquid crystal, the molecules are ordered like those in a crystal, but they can still flow like a liquid. This...
liquid crystal display An alphanumeric display formed by a layer of liquid crystal material sandwiched between two sheets of glass; a transparent conductive coating on the glass is etched to form the character segments. An applied voltage causes the appropriate segments...
