    Abstract: A color microdisplay utilizes diffraction gratings to provide an array of high efficiency color pixels. The microdisplay includes a semiconductor substrate and source of light disposed adjacent thereto. A cover plate may be disposed above the substrate and has a layer of conductive material on a surface of the cover plate opposite the substrate. An optically active material, such as liquid crystal material, may be disposed between the substrate and the cover plate. An array of pixels are formed on the substrate. The pixel array includes an array of diffraction grating elements. Each element includes one or more diffraction gratings. The pitch of each diffraction grating can be a function of the angle of the incident light and the desired diffraction output spectrum. An optical system directs the diffracted light from each grating through the optically active material into viewing optics.

    Abstract: A liquid crystal panel includes first and second substrates at least one of which has a light transmission property and which confront each other, first and second electrode layers which are formed on opposed faces of the first and second substrates, respectively, a polymer dispersion liquid crystal layer which is sandwiched between the first and second substrates, and a layer which is formed on at least one of the first and second electrode layers and has an uneven sectional shape so as to define concavities. At least liquid crystals disposed in the concavities of the layer are aligned in a predetermined direction.

    Abstract: A layer having an irregular sectional surface is formed on the surface of at least one of a pixel electrode and confronting electrode of a liquid crystal layer so as to confront a liquid crystal layer. The liquid crystal layer is formed of a polymer dispersed liquid crystal. If the layer having an irregular sectional surface is formed in a convex and concave pattern regularly and cyclically, the thus formed layer serves as a diffraction grating. When the liquid crystal is in an OFF condition, the refractive index n of the diffraction grating is different from the refractive index of the liquid crystal layer. As a result, an incident light to the liquid crystal panel is scattered and at the same time, diffracted. When the liquid crystal in in an ON condition, there is no difference in the refractive index between the diffraction grating and the liquid crystal, and the incident light passes straight through. Using the liquid crystal panel as a light valve, the light from a light source is incident to the liquid crystal panel, and the image formed on the liquid crystal panel is projected through a projection lens onto a screen. In the case of a black display, the incident light is scattered or diffracted in the liquid crystal panel according to the projected image. The scattered or diffracted light is stopped by a light shielding part of a aperture, and thus does not arrive at the screen.

    Abstract: In a display unit for use in projecting projection light onto a screen to display a picture, a light valve comprises a diffraction grating assembly for selecting one of chrominance components included in an incident light given through one surface of the light valve. The diffraction grating assembly is divided into a plurality of grating elements arranged to give different colors corresponding to the chrominance components. In addition, a control beam, such as a laser, is incident onto the other surface of the light valve to selectively scan the grating elements and to heat selected ones of the grating elements through an energy converting film. Thus, the incident light is subjected to modulation on the grating elements in accordance with heat energy and emitted through a liquid crystal as controlled light from the light valve. The controlled light is sent as the projection light to the screen.

    Abstract: To provide a light source apparatus for light measurement in which time wavelength uniqueness is not lost even in a case of high output, and to enable spectroscopic measurement with high accuracy and at high speed. Broadband pulsed light having a continuous spectrum over a wavelength width of at least 50 nm in a range of 900 to 1300 nm is emitted from a pulsed light source, and divided for each wavelength by a divider, and light having each wavelength is transmitted by each of stretch fibers and emitted from a coupler. The stretch fibers have different lengths such that an elapsed time and the wavelength in one pulse correspond to each other on a one-to-one basis at an emission end.
