EVALUATION OF LCTV AS A SPATIAL LIGHT-MODULATOR

The optical properties of twisted nematic liquid crystal televisions a re studied. The performance of the liquid crystal television as a spat ial light modulator is investigated theoretically and experimentally. Some useful methods for determining the characteristic values of the l iquid crystal television are presented. The experimental results are w ell explained by the theoretical predictions based on the Jones calcul us for a polarized light transmission.
