摘要： A twisted nematic liquid crystal (TNLC) cell used in reflective spatial light modulators (SLMs) of displays is disclosed. The TNLC cell includes front and rear substrates, and a TNLC material having a thickness d and a left-handed or right-handed twist angle .phi.. The TNLC material is sandwiched between the front and rear substrates, and the twist angle .phi. is approximately from 46.degree. to 62.degree.. A direction of directors of the TNLC material located nearest the front substrate forms an initial angle .beta. with a direction of linearly polarized light incident thereon. The initial angle .beta. is approximately from -6.degree. to 60.degree.. A birefringence .DELTA.n of the TNLC material times the thickness d is between approximately 0.7.lambda. to 1.25.lambda., where .lambda. is a wavelength of light incident on the front substrate.

摘要： A method is disclosed for forming an alignment layer for use in a liquid crystal cell layer for use in a liquid crystal cell using an ion beam source that includes the steps of: (1) providing a substrate having a surface; (2) providing an ion beam source that emanates an ion beam; (3) providing a mask layer disposed between the substrate surface and the ion beam source. The mask layer has at least two openings disposed between the ion beam source and the substrate surface. The shape and position of the openings reduce the irregularity of the beam exposure in a border region on the surface of the substrate resulting from the ion beam source. The present invention may be used in conjunction with substrate treatment using multiple sweeps with a single ion beam source, or with a substrate treatment using a single sweep with multiple ion beam sources. Also disclosed is an apparatus for practicing the disclosed method.
