    Abstract: A method of fabricating and encapsulating MEMS devices is disclosed, using least two carbon films as the dual sacrificial layers sandwiching a MEMS structural film which is anchored onto a substrate and covered by an encapsulating film containing a plurality of thru-film sacrificial release holes. The dual sacrificial carbon films are selectively removed via plasma-enhanced oxygen or nitrogen ashing through the thru-film sacrificial release holes for releasing the MEMS structural film inside a cavity formed between the encapsulating film and the substrate. The thru-film sacrificial release holes, preferably with a relative high asperity ratio, are then sealed off by depositing a hole-sealing film in a physical vapor deposition process or a chemical vapor deposition process or combination.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a liquid crystal on silicon imager. The imager includes a backplane substrate, a reflective polarization electrode array, a planar liquid crystal cell, a transparent conductive film and a transparent plate. The reflective polarization electrode array is placed onto the backplane substrate, consists of a plurality of reflective polarization electrodes, and a pattern of each of the reflective polarization electrodes is configured in a planar arrangement having regularly spaced and electrically isolated gaps in parallel to each other. The planar liquid crystal cell is placed above the reflective polarization electrode array. The transparent conductive film is placed above the planar liquid crystal cell. The transparent plate is placed on the transparent conductive film and facing incident light. Through embedding the reflective polarization electrodes, only one polarization portion could be reflected back, while the residual polarization portion is let pass but not reflected back as desired, thereby decreasing the loss in contrast ratio of the imager.

In identical geometric configuration, the two synchronized reflective modulation imagers polarization modulate polarized light beams as received, and reflect them back towards the PBS, which through transmission and reflection respectively, combines and projects two modulated light beams through a projection lens system to form a pair of spatially overlapped illumination images of aligned pixels with the same image in two orthogonal polarization states on a projection screen. The device jointly provides improvement optical efficiency and expanded function to three dimensional stereoscopic displays.
