  • Patent number: 5497255
    Abstract: A spacial light modulation device is composed of a photoconductive layer, a pixel electrode layer, a dielectric reflection layer, and a liquid crystal layer all laminated in sequence between first and second drive electrode layers. The pixel electrode layer includes a plurality of pixel electrodes partitioned by an insulating substance layer and arranged at predetermined intervals. In particular, to obtain higher contrast and higher resolution of the modulated and reflected light by the device, the surface area of each of the pixel electrodes formed on the photoconductive layer side is determined smaller than that formed on the dielectric reflection layer side. That is, in the pixel electrode layer, a plurality of square-shaped pixel electrodes are arranged into a matrix pattern at predetermined intervals. Each of the square-shaped pixel electrode is composed of a Schottky contact portion in contact with the photoconductive layer and a pixel composing portion in contact with the dielectric reflection layer.
