摘要:
A driving method for a spatial light modulator can provide bright image, images of high contrast and resolution with no persistence and instability, and can be used in a projection display system. The spatial light modulator is prepared by sandwiching a ferroelectric liquid crystal layer between a first substrate and a second substrate. The first substrate is prepared by sequentially laminating a transparent conductive electrode and a photoconductive layer with rectifying properties on a glass substrate. On the photoconductive layer, a reflective layer and an alignment layer for aligning a liquid crystal layer are then laminated. The second substrate is prepared by laminating a transparent conductive electrode and an alignment layer on a glass substrate. Alternating current voltage having a waveform of inconsistent cycles is applied to a section between the transparent conductive electrodes.

A three-dimensional picture image pickup apparatus picks up a plurality of two-dimensional picture images of the objective naturally from different directions sequentially at a predetermined time interval regardless of a depth of the objective or the light source etc. The picture images are reproduced sequentially at the predetermined time interval by a picture image reproducing device and deflected into a plurality of directions by a picture image deflection device to display a three-dimensional picture images.

The disclosed spatial light modulator includes a pair of facing transparent electrodes, and a light-modulating layer and a photoconductive layer provided between the transparent electrodes In the spatial light modulator, the light-modulating layer has different optical states depending on an applied charge amount. Specifically, the light-modulating layer has: a first optical state when the applied charge amount is a first threshold charge amount or more; a second optical state when the applied charge amount is a second threshold charge amount or less; and a spatially uniform intermediate state between the first optical state and the second optical state depending on the applied charge amount. Also, a driving method for such a spatial light modulator is disclosed.

Pixel portions of a photoconductive layer each have a pin structure for providing a rectifying function and are substantially electrically isolated from one another by a highly resistant inter-pixel portion for preventing diffusion of electrical carriers. Data written into a liquid crystal layer by writing light is read out as an optical output by reading light. Reflecting films are provided on the pixel portions, respectively, and an output light blocking film is provided on the inter-pixel portion formed into a groove. The reflecting films and the output light blocking film are partially overlapped on each other so as to sufficiently block the reading light.

A method for driving a spatial light modulator is disclosed. The spatial light modulator includes a ferroelectric liquid crystal layer, a pair of conductive alignment films sandwiching the ferroelectric liquid crystal layer, a pair of electrodes for applying a voltage to the ferroelectric liquid crystal layer for changing the state of the ferroelectric liquid crystal layer, a photoconductive layer disposed between one of the pair of electrodes and one of the pair of conductive alignment films. The method includes the steps of: (a) applying a reset pulse to the pair of electrodes for resetting the ferroelectric liquid crystal layer to an initial state; (b) applying a first low voltage to the pair of electrodes during a first interval starting from the end of the step (a); (c) applying a writing pulse to the pair of electrodes after the lapse of the first interval while illuminating the photoconductive layer with writing light; (d) applying a second low voltage to the pair of electrodes during a second interval starting from the end of the step (c), the second interval being longer than the first interval; and (e) applying a next reset pulse to the pair of electrodes for resetting the ferroelectric liquid crystal layer to the initial state.
