ABSTRACT:
A negative bias voltage may be utilized to bias a spatial light modulator and to enable the spatial light modulator to be modulated using relatively low supply voltages. During the negative frame, a positive bias voltage may be utilized and during the positive frame, a negative bias voltage may be utilized. This avoids damage to the liquid crystal material. The necessary modulating voltages may be within the range available from leading edge silicon technologies.
