  • Liquid crystal spatial light modulator
    Patent number: 11287705
    Abstract: The invention concerns a liquid crystal spatial light modulator (101) comprising: a liquid crystal layer (7); and on at least one side of the liquid crystal layer (7), at least one photovoltaic cell (456), each photovoltaic cell (456) comprising a photosensitive layer (5) comprising electron-donating (D) molecules and electron accepting (A) molecules, each photovoltaic cell (456) being arranged for spontaneous photovoltage under illumination. Electron-donating molecules and electron accepting molecules are preferably blended and form preferably an organic bulk heterojunction layer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 19, 2018
    Date of Patent: March 29, 2022
    Inventors: Thomas M. Heiser, Thomas M. Regrettier, Malgosia Kaczmarek
