SPATIAL LIGHT MODULATORS, METHODS OF DRIVING AND MANUFACTURING THE SAME, AND APPARATUSES INCLUDING THE SPATIAL LIGHT MODULATORS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17706100 titled 'SPATIAL LIGHT MODULATORS, METHODS OF DRIVING AND MANUFACTURING THE SAME, AND APPARATUSES INCLUDING THE SPATIAL LIGHT MODULATORS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a spatial light modulator that includes various layers and components to control the transmission of light.
- The spatial light modulator includes a substrate, a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) layer, a cavity layer, a pixel layer, and a heat blocking member.
- The DBR layer is located on the substrate and helps reflect light.
- The cavity layer is placed on top of the DBR layer and helps control the transmission of light.
- The pixel layer consists of multiple pixels, each containing several active meta-patterns.
- A heat blocking member is positioned between the pixels to prevent heat transfer between them.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Display technology: The spatial light modulator can be used in displays to control the transmission of light and create images.
- Optical communication: The modulator can be used in optical communication systems to manipulate light signals.
- Projection systems: The technology can be applied in projection systems to control the projection of light and create high-quality images.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Heat management: The heat blocking member helps prevent heat transfer between pixels, reducing the risk of overheating and potential damage.
- Light control: The various layers and components of the modulator allow for precise control over the transmission of light, enabling the creation of high-quality images.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved image quality: The spatial light modulator allows for precise control over light transmission, resulting in sharper and more vibrant images.
- Enhanced reliability: The heat blocking member helps prevent overheating, increasing the lifespan and reliability of the modulator.
- Versatile applications: The technology can be used in various fields, including displays, optical communication, and projection systems.
