Vertically-aligned liquid crystal modulator for voltage image display inspection

Abstract

An electro-optic modulator includes a glass layer, which may include a conductive layer. A first homeotropic alignment layer is disposed on the glass layer. A liquid crystal layer is disposed on the first homeotropic alignment layer opposite the glass layer. A second homeotropic alignment layer is disposed on the liquid crystal layer opposite the first homeotropic alignment layer. A reflective mirror is disposed on the second homeotropic alignment layer opposite the liquid crystal layer. The liquid crystal layer includes a negative dielectric liquid crystal.
