ABSTRACT:
An active matrix liquid crystal light valve is disclosed. The addressing matrix has an array of electrodes to create electric fields across the liquid crystal layer. The light valve has a continuous nonconductive reflector layer, separate and distinct from the electrode array of the active matrix. This light valve has a leveling layer disposed on the active matrix to form a planar surface. The reflector layer is formed as a continuous sheet on the planar surface of the leveling layer. An additional invention is the use of fringing fields to switch substantially all of the liquid crystal, including areas not directly over the electrodes.
