Abstract:
There is provided a spatial light modulator arranged to display a light modulation pattern including a hologram. The spatial light modulator includes a liquid crystal on silicon spatial light modulator having a plurality of pixels. The hologram has a plurality of pixels. The spatial light modulator includes a silicon backplane. Each pixel of the spatial light modulator includes a light-modulating element and a respective pixel circuit. Each pixel circuit is embedded in the silicon backplane. Each pixel circuit is arranged to drive the corresponding light-modulating element. Each pixel circuit is further arranged to combine a received pixel value of the hologram with a corresponding pixel value of the light processing function such that the light modulation pattern further includes the light processing function. The light processing function includes a lens function and/or a grating function.
