A method for preparing an alignment layer surface provides a surface on the alignment layer. The surface is bombarded with ions, and reactive gas is introduced to the ion beam to saturate dangling bonds on the surface. Another method for preparing an alignment layer surface provides a surface on the alignment layer. The surface is bombarded with ions and quenched with a reactive component to saturate dangling bonds on the surface.

A reflective liquid crystal lightvalve for modulating the polarization of incident light within a specified band of wavelengths into on and off states, comprises: (i) a pixelated reflective backplane; (ii) a first liquid crystal layer, positioned proximate the pixelated reflective backplane, the first liquid crystal layer being tuned in the off state to switch incident light at the center of the specified band of wavelengths into a state that is not fully off; and (iii) a second liquid crystal layer, positioned proximate the first liquid crystal layer wherein the first liquid crystal layer is positioned between the second liquid crystal layer and the pixelated reflective backplane, the second liquid crystal layer having a birefringence which, at a given depth within its thickness, is substantially equal and opposite to a birefringence of a layer within the first liquid crystal layer that is located at a matching distance from a midplane separating the first and second liquid crystal layers.

A twist discotic-type liquid-crystal or liquid-crystalline film with negative birefringence is as a compensation film for either single-domain or two-domain liquid crystal display cells to achieve better view-angle characteristics, less color-shift as a function of applied voltage, and faster response times than uncompensated 90°-twist single-domain or two-domain cells.

An improved direct charge readout electron radiography apparatus of the type having an upper electrode receiving differentially-absorbed X-radiation, a lower electrode including a plurality of parallel transparent, conductive strips overlaid with a layer of photoconductive material; and means for scanning a beam of light through the transparent strips and into the overlying photoconductive material layer for selectively transferring charge patterns induced therein responsive to the pattern of differentially-absorbed X-radiation, utilizes at least one lead means strip, positioned substantially transverse to, and spaced from the ends of, the plurality of conductive strips. The transverse lead means strip is connected to sequential ones of the parallel strips responsive to illumination of the photoconductive material in the area between the transverse strip and an adjacent end of each sequential parallel strip. The reduction in device capacitance in parallel with a device output signal, facilitates an increase of about 100 times in the amount of readable charge, for equal exposures. Apparatus for optically scanning each conductive strip; while maintaining the connection thereof to the transverse lead means, is also disclosed.

The present invention builds a metal electrode that is controlled by the common electrode in each pixel cell. During operation, a voltage is first applied to this metal electrode to transform the liquid crystal molecule over this metal electrode from the splay state to the bend state. Next, a voltage is applied to the pixel electrode to transform the liquid crystal molecule in the whole pixel region from the splay state to the bend state.
